BONFIELD COTTAGE 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 BONFIELD COTTAGE sales from January 1999 and January 2002 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 January 1999 sale was for 66% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% below the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might BONFIELD COTTAGE be worth now?

BONFIELD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £640,440.

This is based on house price inflation of 184.6%, between January 2002 and December 2024, 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 184.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BONFIELD COTTAGE of £225,000 on 25th January 2002. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £640,440 over the 21 years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BONFIELD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The January 2002 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
