2 BERESFORD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 BERESFORD COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and December 1999 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 1997 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 1999 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 2 BERESFORD COTTAGE be worth now?

2 BERESFORD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £196,059.

This is based on house price inflation of 308.5%, between December 1999 and February 2025, for semi-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 308.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BERESFORD COTTAGE of £48,000 on 10th December 1999. For the value to have increased from £48,000 to £196,059 over the 26 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BERESFORD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 1999 sale price of £48,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
