5 OATES LANE 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 5 OATES LANE sales from September 2018 and January 2020 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 2018 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 5 OATES LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.9%, between January 2020 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 25.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 OATES LANE of £278,500 on 31st January 2020. For the value to have increased from £278,500 to £350,732 over the four years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
