MARABU Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MARABU sales from September 1998 and December 1999 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 September 1998 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 1999 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might MARABU be worth now?

MARABU might now be worth an estimated £518,436.

This is based on house price inflation of 308.2%, between December 1999 and March 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cheltenham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 308.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARABU of £127,000 on 20th December 1999. For the value to have increased from £127,000 to £518,436 over the 26 years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARABU has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cheltenham local authority area.
• The December 1999 sale price of £127,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARABU has not materially changed since December 1999.
