RAVENSCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RAVENSCROFT sales between January 1998 and June 2017 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 2002 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might RAVENSCROFT be worth now?

RAVENSCROFT might now be worth an estimated £541,697.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.4%, between June 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RAVENSCROFT of £450,000 on 1st June 2017. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £541,697 over the eight years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RAVENSCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The June 2017 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RAVENSCROFT has not materially changed since June 2017.
