CAMBUS O MAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CAMBUS O MAY sales from December 1996 and January 2013 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 December 1996 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might CAMBUS O MAY be worth now?

CAMBUS O MAY might now be worth an estimated £498,530.

This is based on house price inflation of 78%, between January 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Solihull local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CAMBUS O MAY of £280,000 on 31st January 2013. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £498,530 over the eleven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CAMBUS O MAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Solihull local authority area.
• The January 2013 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CAMBUS O MAY has not materially changed since January 2013.
