18 THORN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 THORN CLOSE sales from April 1995 and October 2011 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 April 1995 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 18 THORN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 98.5%, between October 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 98.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 THORN CLOSE of £203,250 on 26th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £203,250 to £403,418 over the fourteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
