21 LAUREL CLOSE 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 four 21 LAUREL CLOSE sales between July 1995 and January 2019 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 May 2007 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 21 LAUREL CLOSE be worth now?

21 LAUREL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £216,976.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.9%, between January 2019 and February 2025, 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 29.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 LAUREL CLOSE of £167,000 on 29th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £167,000 to £216,976 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 LAUREL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £167,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 21 LAUREL CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2019.
