DITTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five DITTON COTTAGE sales between March 1997 and June 2018 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 September 2013 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might DITTON COTTAGE be worth now?

DITTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £245,129.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.6%, between June 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DITTON COTTAGE of £205,000 on 15th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £245,129 over the seven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DITTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The June 2018 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DITTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2018.
