FENCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Fenland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FENCROFT sales between June 1996 and March 2016 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 May 2015 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might FENCROFT be worth now?

FENCROFT might now be worth an estimated £251,289.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.6%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Fenland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FENCROFT of £175,000 on 1st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £251,289 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FENCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Fenland local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £175,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FENCROFT has not materially changed since March 2016.
