DIRLETON 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 two DIRLETON COTTAGE sales from October 2013 and March 2016 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 October 2013 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might DIRLETON COTTAGE be worth now?

DIRLETON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £558,383.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.6%, between March 2016 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 30.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DIRLETON COTTAGE of £427,500 on 31st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £427,500 to £558,383 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DIRLETON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £427,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DIRLETON COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2016.
