BALLACRAINE 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 two BALLACRAINE sales from April 1997 and June 2015 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 1997 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might BALLACRAINE be worth now?

BALLACRAINE might now be worth an estimated £856,734.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.6%, between June 2015 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 41.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BALLACRAINE of £605,000 on 26th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £605,000 to £856,734 over the ten years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BALLACRAINE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £605,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BALLACRAINE has not materially changed since June 2015.
