THISTLEDOWNS 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 THISTLEDOWNS sales from September 2002 and December 2013 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 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might THISTLEDOWNS be worth now?

THISTLEDOWNS might now be worth an estimated £583,392.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.3%, between December 2013 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 64.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THISTLEDOWNS of £355,000 on 20th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £583,392 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THISTLEDOWNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THISTLEDOWNS has not materially changed since December 2013.
