4 BLUETAIL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 BLUETAIL CLOSE sales between June 2006 and October 2011 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 February 2008 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 4 BLUETAIL CLOSE be worth now?

4 BLUETAIL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £237,680.

This is based on house price inflation of 78%, between October 2011 and March 2025, for semi-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 78% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BLUETAIL CLOSE of £133,500 on 14th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £133,500 to £237,680 over the fourteen years and seven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BLUETAIL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The October 2011 sale price of £133,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
