1 JOHNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 JOHNS CLOSE sales between April 1996 and February 2016 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 2006 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 1 JOHNS CLOSE be worth now?

1 JOHNS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £494,392.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.8%, between February 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 JOHNS CLOSE of £375,000 on 26th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £494,392 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
