RECTORY 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 two RECTORY COTTAGE sales from August 1997 and August 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 August 1997 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might RECTORY COTTAGE be worth now?

RECTORY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £504,435.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.4%, between August 2015 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 48.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RECTORY COTTAGE of £340,000 on 7th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £504,435 over the ten years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RECTORY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RECTORY COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2015.
