ENCHANTRESS 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 ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and August 2007 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 1997 sale was for 62% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% below the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.

What might ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE be worth now?

ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £242,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.6%, between August 2007 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 58.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE of £153,000 on 30th August 2007. For the value to have increased from £153,000 to £242,690 over the sixteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The August 2007 sale price of £153,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ENCHANTRESS COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2007.
