POPULAR 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 six POPULAR COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and December 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 September 2013 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might POPULAR COTTAGE be worth now?

POPULAR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £342,310.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.7%, between December 2015 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 39.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POPULAR COTTAGE of £245,000 on 18th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £342,310 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POPULAR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POPULAR COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2015.
