THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from November 1995 and July 2004 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 November 1995 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 168% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 168% above the HPI.

What might THE CROFT be worth now?

THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £1,291,700.

This is based on house price inflation of 98.7%, between July 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cheshire East local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 98.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CROFT of £650,000 on 8th July 2004. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £1,291,700 over the 21 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire East local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CROFT has not materially changed since July 2004.
