ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and October 2007 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 October 1999 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £422,349.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.6%, between October 2007 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 53.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £275,000 on 4th October 2007. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £422,349 over the eighteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The October 2007 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2007.
