The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 WATSON WAY sales between October 2009 and February 2020 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 August 2015 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
40 WATSON WAY might now be worth an estimated £272,216.
This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between February 2020 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 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 WATSON WAY of £220,000 on 21st February 2020. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £272,216 over the five years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
