1 BEECH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 BEECH CLOSE sales from March 2005 and March 2016 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 March 2005 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 1 BEECH CLOSE be worth now?

1 BEECH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £376,547.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.1%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BEECH CLOSE of £285,000 on 29th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £376,547 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BEECH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 BEECH CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2016.
