10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE sales between September 1998 and August 2014 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 June 2006 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE be worth now?

10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £297,412.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between August 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE of £199,950 on 15th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £199,950 to £297,412 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 BLACKBIRD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £199,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
