LONG JOHNS 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 LONG JOHNS sales from August 2002 and August 2011 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 August 2002 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might LONG JOHNS be worth now?

LONG JOHNS might now be worth an estimated £1,090,717.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.8%, between August 2011 and December 2024, 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 67.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONG JOHNS of £650,000 on 18th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £1,090,717 over the twelve years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONG JOHNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The August 2011 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONG JOHNS has not materially changed since August 2011.
