OAK 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 two OAK COTTAGE sales from April 2001 and September 2015 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 April 2001 sale was for 154% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 154% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.

What might OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £798,017.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.2%, between September 2015 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 38.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK COTTAGE of £577,500 on 18th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £577,500 to £798,017 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
