JAPONICA COTTAGE 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 two JAPONICA COTTAGE sales from July 1998 and October 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 July 1998 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might JAPONICA COTTAGE be worth now?

JAPONICA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £326,705.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.4%, between October 2017 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 22.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for JAPONICA COTTAGE of £267,000 on 23rd October 2017. For the value to have increased from £267,000 to £326,705 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of JAPONICA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £267,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of JAPONICA COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2017.
