53 DERWENT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 53 DERWENT CLOSE sales from May 1997 and December 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 May 1997 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 53 DERWENT CLOSE be worth now?

53 DERWENT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £727,052.

This is based on house price inflation of 142.4%, between December 2005 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cambridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 142.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 DERWENT CLOSE of £300,000 on 19th December 2005. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £727,052 over the twenty years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
