22 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 22 THORN CLOSE sales from August 2002 and June 2016 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 2002 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 22 THORN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 33.8%, between June 2016 and December 2024, 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 33.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 THORN CLOSE of £279,950 on 29th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £279,950 to £374,688 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
