3 BLUETAIL CLOSE 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 3 BLUETAIL CLOSE sales from July 2006 and August 2014 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 2006 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 3 BLUETAIL CLOSE be worth now?

3 BLUETAIL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £341,512.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.5%, between August 2014 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 48.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BLUETAIL CLOSE of £230,000 on 15th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £341,512 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 BLUETAIL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
