4 ORCHARD GATE 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 4 ORCHARD GATE sales from July 1995 and February 2005 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 July 1995 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2005 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 4 ORCHARD GATE be worth now?

4 ORCHARD GATE might now be worth an estimated £528,990.

This is based on house price inflation of 107.4%, between February 2005 and May 2026, 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 107.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ORCHARD GATE of £255,000 on 21st February 2005. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £528,990 over the twenty years and nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 ORCHARD GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The February 2005 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
