1 WEST SIDE 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 two 1 WEST SIDE CLOSE sales from March 2008 and January 2012 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 2008 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 1 WEST SIDE CLOSE be worth now?

1 WEST SIDE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £398,368.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.6%, between January 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WEST SIDE CLOSE of £245,000 on 27th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £398,368 over the twelve years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
