HILLTOP COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLTOP COTTAGE sales from October 1995 and January 2020 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 1995 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might HILLTOP COTTAGE be worth now?

HILLTOP COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £387,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between January 2020 and February 2025, for 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 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLTOP COTTAGE of £317,500 on 30th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £317,500 to £387,738 over the four years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLTOP COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £317,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLTOP COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2020.
