THE JAYS 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 JAYS sales between November 1997 and September 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 November 2019 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might THE JAYS be worth now?

THE JAYS might now be worth an estimated £520,787.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.2%, between September 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 2.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for THE JAYS of £532,500 on 4th September 2024. For the value to have decreased from £532,500 to £520,787 over the nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE JAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £532,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE JAYS has not materially changed since September 2024.
