BLYTHWYC COTTAGE 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 four BLYTHWYC COTTAGE sales between December 2004 and February 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 June 2011 sale was for 247% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 247% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 170% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 170% above the HPI.

What might BLYTHWYC COTTAGE be worth now?

BLYTHWYC COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £738,879.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.7%, between February 2021 and December 2024, 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 13.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLYTHWYC COTTAGE of £650,000 on 2nd February 2021. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £738,879 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLYTHWYC COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
