OLD WILLOW 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 OLD WILLOW sales from March 2002 and December 2006 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 March 2002 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might OLD WILLOW be worth now?

OLD WILLOW might now be worth an estimated £464,036.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.7%, between December 2006 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 68.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD WILLOW of £275,000 on 1st December 2006. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £464,036 over the nineteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD WILLOW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2006 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD WILLOW has not materially changed since December 2006.
