85 SANDS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 85 SANDS LANE sales between August 1996 and September 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 May 2019 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 85 SANDS LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 11.6%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 SANDS LANE of £266,000 on 28th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £266,000 to £296,889 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
