4 THE DRIFTWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ipswich local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE DRIFTWAY sales from March 2015 and September 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 March 2015 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might 4 THE DRIFTWAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.4%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Ipswich local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE DRIFTWAY of £550,000 on 30th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £585,057 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
