18 DOWNING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ipswich local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 DOWNING CLOSE sales between December 2000 and December 2022 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 October 2021 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 18 DOWNING CLOSE be worth now?
