4 CHEQUERS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 CHEQUERS CLOSE sales between May 1997 and October 2020 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 October 2015 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 4 CHEQUERS CLOSE be worth now?

4 CHEQUERS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £551,013.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 CHEQUERS CLOSE of £475,000 on 28th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £551,013 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 CHEQUERS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
