BIRCHES GREEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHES GREEN sales between October 2009 and October 2015 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 2009 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHES GREEN be worth now?

BIRCHES GREEN might now be worth an estimated £821,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.3%, between October 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHES GREEN of £590,000 on 19th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £821,909 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHES GREEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHES GREEN has not materially changed since October 2015.
