1 BROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 BROOK COTTAGE sales between August 2001 and September 2024 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 December 2021 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.
