2 BLACKBIRD WAY 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 2 BLACKBIRD WAY sales from July 2002 and February 2019 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 July 2002 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 2 BLACKBIRD WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 14.1%, between February 2019 and December 2024, 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 14.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BLACKBIRD WAY of £248,000 on 15th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £248,000 to £282,996 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
