5 BROWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BROWNS CLOSE sales from September 1999 and May 2023 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 September 1999 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI.
