BURNT OAK COTTAGE 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 BURNT OAK COTTAGE sales between April 1995 and October 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 April 2015 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 90% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% above the HPI.

What might BURNT OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

BURNT OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £918,156.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between October 2021 and December 2024, 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 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BURNT OAK COTTAGE of £865,000 on 26th October 2021. For the value to have increased from £865,000 to £918,156 over the two years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BURNT OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The October 2021 sale price of £865,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
