FOLLY HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOLLY HOUSE sales from September 1998 and April 2017 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 1998 sale was for 145% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 145% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might FOLLY HOUSE be worth now?

FOLLY HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £593,542.

This is based on house price inflation of 29%, between April 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOLLY HOUSE of £460,000 on 11th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £593,542 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOLLY HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOLLY HOUSE has not materially changed since April 2017.
