THE LIMES 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 LIMES sales from July 2004 and October 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 July 2004 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 127% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 127% above the HPI.

What might THE LIMES be worth now?

THE LIMES might now be worth an estimated £966,298.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.9%, between October 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 55.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LIMES of £620,000 on 1st October 2014. For the value to have increased from £620,000 to £966,298 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LIMES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £620,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LIMES has not materially changed since October 2014.
