3 BIRCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 BIRCH CLOSE sales between May 1998 and June 2003 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 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2003 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 3 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

3 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £438,094.

This is based on house price inflation of 128.2%, between June 2003 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 128.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BIRCH CLOSE of £192,000 on 27th June 2003. For the value to have increased from £192,000 to £438,094 over the 22 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
