1 DESMOND CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 DESMOND CLOSE sales between March 2001 and February 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 August 2022 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 1 DESMOND CLOSE be worth now?
