4 SCHOOL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 SCHOOL CLOSE sales between June 2011 and November 2021 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 April 2019 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 4 SCHOOL CLOSE be worth now?

4 SCHOOL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £220,251.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.5%, between November 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the West Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 SCHOOL CLOSE of £203,000 on 23rd November 2021. For the value to have increased from £203,000 to £220,251 over the two years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 SCHOOL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £203,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 SCHOOL CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2021.
