20 THORN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 THORN CLOSE sales from September 2011 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 September 2011 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 20 THORN CLOSE be worth now?

20 THORN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £391,609.

This is based on house price inflation of 90.1%, between February 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 90.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 THORN CLOSE of £206,000 on 24th February 2012. For the value to have increased from £206,000 to £391,609 over the thirteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
