HOLLY 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 HOLLY COTTAGE sales from December 1997 and September 1999 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 December 1997 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might HOLLY COTTAGE be worth now?

HOLLY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £372,640.

This is based on house price inflation of 290.2%, between September 1999 and December 2024, 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 290.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLY COTTAGE of £95,500 on 20th September 1999. For the value to have increased from £95,500 to £372,640 over the 24 years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The September 1999 sale price of £95,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLLY COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 1999.
