BYWAYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BYWAYS sales from September 2000 and January 2025 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 2000 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the January 2025 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.

What might BYWAYS be worth now?

BYWAYS might now be worth an estimated £546,298.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.1%, between January 2025 and July 2025, for 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 5.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BYWAYS of £520,000 on 28th January 2025. For the value to have increased from £520,000 to £546,298 over the six months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BYWAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The January 2025 sale price of £520,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BYWAYS has not materially changed since January 2025.
