2 THE LYNX 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 2 THE LYNX sales between August 1999 and July 2018 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 October 2003 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 2 THE LYNX be worth now?

2 THE LYNX might now be worth an estimated £489,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.6%, between July 2018 and February 2025, 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 16.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE LYNX of £420,000 on 3rd July 2018. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £489,535 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE LYNX has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £420,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE LYNX has not materially changed since July 2018.
