40 THE BUTTS 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 THE BUTTS sales from January 2011 and July 2024 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 January 2011 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 40 THE BUTTS be worth now?

40 THE BUTTS might now be worth an estimated £406,924.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.5%, between July 2024 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 8.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THE BUTTS of £375,000 on 24th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £406,924 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 THE BUTTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The July 2024 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 40 THE BUTTS has not materially changed since July 2024.
