53 THE DOWNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 53 THE DOWNS sales from June 1999 and August 2002 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 June 1999 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 53 THE DOWNS be worth now?

The 227.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 THE DOWNS of £240,000 on 8th August 2002. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £785,551 over the 23 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
