MOAT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MOAT COTTAGE sales between February 1997 and January 2019 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 December 2005 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might MOAT COTTAGE be worth now?

MOAT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £534,575.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.4%, between January 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOAT COTTAGE of £455,500 on 28th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £455,500 to £534,575 over the five years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOAT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The January 2019 sale price of £455,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOAT COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2019.
