3 BUTTERCUP CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 BUTTERCUP CLOSE sales from November 1998 and January 2004 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 November 1998 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the January 2004 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 3 BUTTERCUP CLOSE be worth now?

3 BUTTERCUP CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £282,076.

This is based on house price inflation of 122.1%, between January 2004 and February 2025, for semi-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 122.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BUTTERCUP CLOSE of £127,000 on 22nd January 2004. For the value to have increased from £127,000 to £282,076 over the twenty years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
