THE OAKS 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 OAKS sales from February 2000 and October 2009 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 2000 sale was for 183% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 183% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it falls to 57% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% below the HPI.

What might THE OAKS be worth now?

THE OAKS might now be worth an estimated £181,838.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.3%, between October 2009 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 66.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OAKS of £109,333 on 12th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £109,333 to £181,838 over the fourteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OAKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £109,333 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OAKS has not materially changed since October 2009.
