19 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 19 BIRCH CLOSE sales from February 2006 and January 2018 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 February 2006 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 19 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

19 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £292,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.5%, between January 2018 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 20.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 BIRCH CLOSE of £242,500 on 31st January 2018. For the value to have increased from £242,500 to £292,230 over the six years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
