THE CHESTNUTS 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 THE CHESTNUTS sales from February 2007 and August 2009 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 February 2007 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might THE CHESTNUTS be worth now?

THE CHESTNUTS might now be worth an estimated £565,274.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.6%, between August 2009 and February 2025, 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 92.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CHESTNUTS of £293,500 on 21st August 2009. For the value to have increased from £293,500 to £565,274 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CHESTNUTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £293,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CHESTNUTS has not materially changed since August 2009.
