ROCK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven ROCK COTTAGE sales between March 1998 and June 2019 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 April 2014 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might ROCK COTTAGE be worth now?

ROCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £402,495.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.6%, between June 2019 and February 2025, for semi-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 37.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROCK COTTAGE of £292,500 on 6th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £292,500 to £402,495 over the six years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £292,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2019.
