BRIARS 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 four BRIARS sales between March 1998 and July 2023 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 August 2009 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might BRIARS be worth now?

BRIARS might now be worth an estimated £632,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.4%, between July 2023 and February 2025, 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 5.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIARS of £600,000 on 27th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £600,000 to £632,535 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £600,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIARS has not materially changed since July 2023.
