HAWTHORN 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 HAWTHORN COTTAGE sales from April 1998 and February 2012 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 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might HAWTHORN COTTAGE be worth now?

HAWTHORN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,005,519.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.8%, between February 2012 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 82.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HAWTHORN COTTAGE of £550,000 on 10th February 2012. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £1,005,519 over the eleven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HAWTHORN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The February 2012 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HAWTHORN COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2012.
