34 HIGHER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 34 HIGHER DRIVE sales between August 2001 and December 2017 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 2010 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 34 HIGHER DRIVE be worth now?

34 HIGHER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £278,583.

This is based on house price inflation of 29%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 29% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 HIGHER DRIVE of £216,000 on 14th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £216,000 to £278,583 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 HIGHER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £216,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 34 HIGHER DRIVE has not materially changed since December 2017.
