159 THORPE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 159 THORPE WAY sales between November 2006 and July 2014 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 August 2009 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 159 THORPE WAY be worth now?

159 THORPE WAY might now be worth an estimated £394,675.

This is based on house price inflation of 41%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cambridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 THORPE WAY of £280,000 on 29th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £394,675 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 THORPE WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cambridge local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
