28 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 two 28 SWEET BRIAR CLOSE sales from August 1997 and August 2023 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 August 1997 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.3%, between August 2023 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 1.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 SWEET BRIAR CLOSE of £400,000 on 14th August 2023. For the value to have decreased from £400,000 to £394,718 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
