GHENT 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 two GHENT COTTAGE sales from June 1997 and May 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 June 1997 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might GHENT COTTAGE be worth now?

GHENT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £310,791.

This is based on house price inflation of 68%, between May 2007 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 68% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GHENT COTTAGE of £185,000 on 10th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £310,791 over the eighteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GHENT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GHENT COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2007.
