BOWER HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOWER HOUSE sales from November 2007 and December 2010 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 2007 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might BOWER HOUSE be worth now?

BOWER HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £459,752.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.2%, between December 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWER HOUSE of £275,000 on 22nd December 2010. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £459,752 over the fourteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWER HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2010 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWER HOUSE has not materially changed since December 2010.
