28 HALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 28 HALE CLOSE sales between February 1997 and November 2013 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 February 1999 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 28 HALE CLOSE be worth now?

28 HALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £381,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.6%, between November 2013 and February 2025, for semi-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 69.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 HALE CLOSE of £225,000 on 11th November 2013. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £381,592 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 28 HALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
