WESTGATE 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 WESTGATE sales from October 1996 and November 2012 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 October 1996 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.

What might WESTGATE be worth now?

WESTGATE might now be worth an estimated £759,953.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.9%, between November 2012 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 68.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTGATE of £450,000 on 6th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £759,953 over the eleven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTGATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTGATE has not materially changed since November 2012.
