5 THE LINNETS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THE LINNETS sales between September 2001 and August 2009 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 May 2005 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE LINNETS be worth now?

5 THE LINNETS might now be worth an estimated £618,238.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.6%, between August 2009 and February 2025, for 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 92.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE LINNETS of £321,000 on 21st August 2009. For the value to have increased from £321,000 to £618,238 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE LINNETS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £321,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE LINNETS has not materially changed since August 2009.
