STOUR COTTAGE 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 two STOUR COTTAGE sales from March 2000 and January 2013 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 2000 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.

What might STOUR COTTAGE be worth now?

STOUR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £937,006.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.1%, between January 2013 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 70.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STOUR COTTAGE of £551,000 on 25th January 2013. For the value to have increased from £551,000 to £937,006 over the eleven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STOUR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The January 2013 sale price of £551,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STOUR COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2013.
