BEACONSCOT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BEACONSCOT sales between October 1998 and September 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 June 2004 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might BEACONSCOT be worth now?

BEACONSCOT might now be worth an estimated £617,177.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between September 2024 and February 2025, for 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 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEACONSCOT of £615,000 on 10th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £615,000 to £617,177 over the one year and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEACONSCOT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £615,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEACONSCOT has not materially changed since September 2024.
