MENDIP 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 MENDIP sales from October 1995 and July 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 October 1995 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might MENDIP be worth now?

MENDIP might now be worth an estimated £444,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between July 2017 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MENDIP of £375,000 on 6th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £444,535 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MENDIP has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MENDIP has not materially changed since July 2017.
