THE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from February 1997 and June 2006 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 February 1997 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £568,502.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.8%, between June 2006 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 64.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £345,000 on 23rd June 2006. For the value to have increased from £345,000 to £568,502 over the seventeen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The June 2006 sale price of £345,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2006.
