18 BIRCH CLOSE 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 two 18 BIRCH CLOSE sales from September 2009 and December 2013 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 2009 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 18 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

18 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £254,908.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.4%, between December 2013 and February 2025, 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 63.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 BIRCH CLOSE of £156,000 on 23rd December 2013. For the value to have increased from £156,000 to £254,908 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 BIRCH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £156,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
