16 SWIFT DRIVE 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 16 SWIFT DRIVE sales between October 2002 and November 2009 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 2007 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 16 SWIFT DRIVE be worth now?

16 SWIFT DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £401,617.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.5%, between November 2009 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 76.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 SWIFT DRIVE of £227,500 on 5th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £227,500 to £401,617 over the fourteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 SWIFT DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The November 2009 sale price of £227,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 SWIFT DRIVE has not materially changed since November 2009.
