8 LINES CLOSE 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 three 8 LINES CLOSE sales between November 2008 and July 2018 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 April 2014 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 8 LINES CLOSE be worth now?

8 LINES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £422,551.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.9%, between July 2018 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 19.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LINES CLOSE of £352,500 on 13th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £352,500 to £422,551 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 LINES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £352,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 LINES CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2018.
