ORCHARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between May 1995 and August 1999 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 1997 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 1999 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £335,377.

This is based on house price inflation of 319.2%, between August 1999 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 319.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £80,000 on 23rd August 1999. For the value to have increased from £80,000 to £335,377 over the 26 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 1999 sale price of £80,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 1999.
