5 FREELANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FREELANDS sales from April 2003 and December 2016 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 2003 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 5 FREELANDS be worth now?

5 FREELANDS might now be worth an estimated £361,380.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.6%, between December 2016 and December 2024, for 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 24.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 FREELANDS of £290,000 on 16th December 2016. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £361,380 over the eight years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 FREELANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 FREELANDS has not materially changed since December 2016.
