8 DOVE GARDENS 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 8 DOVE GARDENS sales from July 1999 and May 2011 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 July 1999 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 8 DOVE GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.3%, between May 2011 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 71.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 DOVE GARDENS of £218,000 on 9th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £218,000 to £373,495 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
