CARTREF 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 three CARTREF sales between August 1997 and March 2007 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 1999 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might CARTREF be worth now?

CARTREF might now be worth an estimated £784,044.

This is based on house price inflation of 91.2%, between March 2007 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 91.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CARTREF of £410,000 on 28th March 2007. For the value to have increased from £410,000 to £784,044 over the sixteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CARTREF has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The March 2007 sale price of £410,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CARTREF has not materially changed since March 2007.
