185 COWAN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 185 COWAN WAY sales from May 1996 and February 2013 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 May 1996 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might 185 COWAN WAY be worth now?

185 COWAN WAY might now be worth an estimated £288,175.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.1%, between February 2013 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 92.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 185 COWAN WAY of £150,000 on 15th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £150,000 to £288,175 over the eleven years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 185 COWAN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
