ROOKERY 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 ROOKERY COTTAGE sales from March 1997 and July 2007 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% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might ROOKERY COTTAGE be worth now?

ROOKERY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £698,142.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.1%, between July 2007 and March 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 71.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROOKERY COTTAGE of £408,000 on 24th July 2007. For the value to have increased from £408,000 to £698,142 over the eighteen years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROOKERY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The July 2007 sale price of £408,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROOKERY COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2007.
