THE ROWENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wrexham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ROWENS sales from April 2004 and October 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 April 2004 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might THE ROWENS be worth now?

THE ROWENS might now be worth an estimated £241,259.

This is based on house price inflation of 46.2%, between October 2006 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wrexham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 46.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ROWENS of £165,000 on 20th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £241,259 over the seventeen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ROWENS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wrexham local authority area.
• The October 2006 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ROWENS has not materially changed since October 2006.
