THE COT 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 THE COT sales from December 1997 and March 2014 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 December 1997 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might THE COT be worth now?

THE COT might now be worth an estimated £507,478.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.4%, between March 2014 and December 2024, 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 66.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COT of £305,000 on 28th March 2014. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £507,478 over the nine years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The March 2014 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COT has not materially changed since March 2014.
