ELM HOUSE 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 ELM HOUSE sales from August 1996 and May 2015 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 1996 sale was for 167% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 167% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.

What might ELM HOUSE be worth now?

ELM HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £936,526.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.8%, between May 2015 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 40.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELM HOUSE of £665,000 on 1st May 2015. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £936,526 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELM HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELM HOUSE has not materially changed since May 2015.
