2 BARKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 BARKER CLOSE sales between November 2001 and September 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 November 2011 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 2 BARKER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 65.2%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BARKER CLOSE of £297,000 on 10th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £297,000 to £490,513 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
