9 HALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 HALE CLOSE sales from November 2010 and May 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 November 2010 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 9 HALE CLOSE be worth now?

9 HALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £554,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.7%, between May 2018 and February 2025, for semi-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 18.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 HALE CLOSE of £467,500 on 25th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £467,500 to £554,909 over the seven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
