5 LAPWING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 LAPWING CLOSE sales between December 1999 and November 2024 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 February 2016 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 5 LAPWING CLOSE be worth now?

5 LAPWING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £285,147.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between November 2024 and February 2025, for semi-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 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LAPWING CLOSE of £275,000 on 29th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £285,147 over the one year and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LAPWING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 LAPWING CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2024.
