1 FORGE ROAD 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 three 1 FORGE ROAD sales between August 2018 and June 2021 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 November 2019 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 1 FORGE ROAD be worth now?

1 FORGE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £313,399.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between June 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FORGE ROAD of £280,000 on 28th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £313,399 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 FORGE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 FORGE ROAD has not materially changed since June 2021.
