40 MELVIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 MELVIN WAY sales from September 1996 and July 2001 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 September 1996 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 40 MELVIN WAY be worth now?

40 MELVIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £258,306.

This is based on house price inflation of 222.9%, between July 2001 and February 2025, for semi-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 222.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 MELVIN WAY of £80,000 on 23rd July 2001. For the value to have increased from £80,000 to £258,306 over the 24 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 MELVIN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The July 2001 sale price of £80,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 40 MELVIN WAY has not materially changed since July 2001.
