8 LAUREL DRIVE 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 five 8 LAUREL DRIVE sales between April 1997 and August 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 November 2006 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 8 LAUREL DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 3.8%, between August 2023 and February 2025, 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 3.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LAUREL DRIVE of £420,000 on 16th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £435,808 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
