THE BEECHES 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 four THE BEECHES sales between May 1999 and April 2024 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 2021 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £522,209.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.7%, between April 2024 and December 2024, 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 4.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £499,000 on 25th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £499,000 to £522,209 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £499,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since April 2024.
