17 MESSENGER 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 17 MESSENGER CLOSE sales from September 2004 and April 2006 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 September 2004 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 17 MESSENGER CLOSE be worth now?

17 MESSENGER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £285,272.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.1%, between April 2006 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 92.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 MESSENGER CLOSE of £148,500 on 28th April 2006. For the value to have increased from £148,500 to £285,272 over the nineteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 MESSENGER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The April 2006 sale price of £148,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
