CHAPEL 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 CHAPEL COTTAGE sales from April 1998 and September 2011 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 1998 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might CHAPEL COTTAGE be worth now?

CHAPEL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £501,059.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.8%, between September 2011 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 72.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CHAPEL COTTAGE of £290,000 on 30th September 2011. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £501,059 over the twelve years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CHAPEL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The September 2011 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CHAPEL COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2011.
