IVY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two IVY COTTAGE sales from March 2006 and June 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 March 2006 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £337,056.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.4%, between June 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £280,000 on 30th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £337,056 over the eight years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The June 2017 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2017.
