SEA MELODY 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 three SEA MELODY sales between October 2015 and October 2019 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 June 2016 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might SEA MELODY be worth now?

SEA MELODY might now be worth an estimated £660,487.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.2%, between October 2019 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 21.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEA MELODY of £545,000 on 25th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £545,000 to £660,487 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEA MELODY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £545,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEA MELODY has not materially changed since October 2019.
