LAUREL HOUSE 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 LAUREL HOUSE sales from November 2000 and September 2003 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 November 2000 sale was for 166% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 166% above the HPI over time, until the September 2003 sale, where it falls to 108% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 108% above the HPI.

What might LAUREL HOUSE be worth now?

LAUREL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,018,721.

This is based on house price inflation of 116.7%, between September 2003 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 116.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL HOUSE of £470,000 on 12th September 2003. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £1,018,721 over the 22 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The September 2003 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2003.
