FOREST LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FOREST LODGE sales between March 1999 and September 2022 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 2003 sale was for 212% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 212% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 298% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 298% above the HPI.

What might FOREST LODGE be worth now?

FOREST LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,683,457.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.8%, between September 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST LODGE of £1,750,000 on 30th September 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,750,000 to £1,683,457 over the three years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £1,750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST LODGE has not materially changed since September 2022.
