4 TOWNSEND 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 TOWNSEND sales from July 2001 and April 2015 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 2001 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 4 TOWNSEND be worth now?

4 TOWNSEND might now be worth an estimated £523,734.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.2%, between April 2015 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 55.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 TOWNSEND of £337,500 on 30th April 2015. For the value to have increased from £337,500 to £523,734 over the eight years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 TOWNSEND has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The April 2015 sale price of £337,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 TOWNSEND has not materially changed since April 2015.
