BENTHAMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BENTHAMS sales between June 1995 and November 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 September 1997 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, which was also at 30% above the HPI.

What might BENTHAMS be worth now?

BENTHAMS might now be worth an estimated £363,061.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.4%, between November 2021 and February 2025, for semi-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 8.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BENTHAMS of £335,000 on 19th November 2021. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £363,061 over the four years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BENTHAMS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The November 2021 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BENTHAMS has not materially changed since November 2021.
