20 MERESIDE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 20 MERESIDE sales between March 1996 and December 2022 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 June 2014 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 20 MERESIDE be worth now?

20 MERESIDE might now be worth an estimated £266,856.

This is based on house price inflation of 7.8%, between December 2022 and December 2024, for semi-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 7.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 MERESIDE of £247,500 on 16th December 2022. For the value to have increased from £247,500 to £266,856 over the two years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 MERESIDE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £247,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 20 MERESIDE has not materially changed since December 2022.
