5 THE WRENS 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 three 5 THE WRENS sales between February 2001 and September 2014 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 April 2011 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE WRENS be worth now?

5 THE WRENS might now be worth an estimated £518,467.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.6%, between September 2014 and April 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 43.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE WRENS of £361,000 on 12th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £361,000 to £518,467 over the twelve years and five months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE WRENS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £361,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE WRENS has not materially changed since September 2014.
