24 SWEET BRIAR 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 three 24 SWEET BRIAR CLOSE sales between June 1997 and February 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 March 2003 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 24 SWEET BRIAR CLOSE be worth now?
