MYRTLE 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 MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from May 2018 and December 2020 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 May 2018 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might MYRTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

MYRTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £316,582.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.1%, between December 2020 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 11.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MYRTLE COTTAGE of £285,000 on 18th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £316,582 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MYRTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MYRTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2020.
