OLD POLICE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD POLICE COTTAGE sales from March 2010 and December 2018 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 March 2010 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might OLD POLICE COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD POLICE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £534,260.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.6%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheshire East local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 33.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD POLICE COTTAGE of £400,000 on 17th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £534,260 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD POLICE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire East local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
