MILL 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 two MILL COTTAGE sales from July 1998 and May 2002 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 July 1998 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might MILL COTTAGE be worth now?

MILL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £389,795.

This is based on house price inflation of 178.4%, between May 2002 and February 2025, 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 178.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MILL COTTAGE of £140,000 on 16th May 2002. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £389,795 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MILL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £140,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MILL COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2002.
