4 THE ORCHARDS 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 4 THE ORCHARDS sales from July 1995 and January 2005 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 July 1995 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the January 2005 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 4 THE ORCHARDS be worth now?

4 THE ORCHARDS might now be worth an estimated £474,756.

This is based on house price inflation of 115.8%, between January 2005 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 115.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE ORCHARDS of £220,000 on 13th January 2005. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £474,756 over the eighteen years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The January 2005 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
