40 MERESIDE 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 40 MERESIDE sales from November 2008 and April 2010 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 November 2008 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 40 MERESIDE be worth now?

40 MERESIDE might now be worth an estimated £325,290.

This is based on house price inflation of 100.5%, between April 2010 and February 2025, 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 100.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 MERESIDE of £162,250 on 27th April 2010. For the value to have increased from £162,250 to £325,290 over the fifteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 MERESIDE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The April 2010 sale price of £162,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 40 MERESIDE has not materially changed since April 2010.
