7 ELM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 7 ELM CLOSE sales between July 1999 and January 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 April 2010 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 7 ELM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 13.5%, between January 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 13.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 ELM CLOSE of £178,500 on 22nd January 2021. For the value to have increased from £178,500 to £202,597 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 ELM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £178,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
