LUDLAM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LUDLAM COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and May 2006 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the May 2002 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might LUDLAM COTTAGE be worth now?

LUDLAM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £592,699.

This is based on house price inflation of 67%, between May 2006 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LUDLAM COTTAGE of £355,000 on 11th May 2006. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £592,699 over the seventeen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LUDLAM COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The May 2006 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LUDLAM COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2006.
