WINDY RIDGE 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 three WINDY RIDGE sales between September 1995 and January 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 September 1997 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might WINDY RIDGE be worth now?

WINDY RIDGE might now be worth an estimated £282,789.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.3%, between January 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 68.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WINDY RIDGE of £168,000 on 20th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £168,000 to £282,789 over the eleven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WINDY RIDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area.
• The January 2012 sale price of £168,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WINDY RIDGE has not materially changed since January 2012.
