SOUTHFIELDS 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 two SOUTHFIELDS sales from July 2009 and November 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 July 2009 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might SOUTHFIELDS be worth now?

SOUTHFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £675,329.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.8%, between November 2017 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 22.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOUTHFIELDS of £550,000 on 17th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £675,329 over the eight years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOUTHFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £550,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOUTHFIELDS has not materially changed since November 2017.
