SORBIE 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 SORBIE sales between November 2015 and March 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 2017 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might SORBIE be worth now?

SORBIE might now be worth an estimated £621,787.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.2%, between March 2019 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 35.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SORBIE of £460,000 on 27th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £621,787 over the six years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SORBIE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SORBIE has not materially changed since March 2019.
