SWALE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five SWALE COTTAGE sales between September 2004 and July 2022 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 May 2015 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might SWALE COTTAGE be worth now?

SWALE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £320,795.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.2%, between July 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 5.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWALE COTTAGE of £305,000 on 13th July 2022. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £320,795 over the three years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWALE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The July 2022 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWALE COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2022.
