31 DUCHESS DRIVE 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 five 31 DUCHESS DRIVE sales between December 1996 and April 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 February 2015 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 31 DUCHESS DRIVE be worth now?

31 DUCHESS DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £500,934.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.9%, between April 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 33.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 DUCHESS DRIVE of £374,000 on 15th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £374,000 to £500,934 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
