34 LAUREL 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 three 34 LAUREL CLOSE sales between July 1997 and September 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 August 2001 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 34 LAUREL CLOSE be worth now?

34 LAUREL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £487,604.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.9%, between September 2022 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 4.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 LAUREL CLOSE of £465,000 on 6th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £465,000 to £487,604 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 LAUREL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £465,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
