4A FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4A FOREST ROAD sales from August 2004 and January 2006 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 August 2004 sale was for 74% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% below the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 4A FOREST ROAD be worth now?

4A FOREST ROAD might now be worth an estimated £579,567.

This is based on house price inflation of 143%, between January 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cambridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 143% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4A FOREST ROAD of £238,500 on 12th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £238,500 to £579,567 over the eighteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
