THE ORANGERY 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 two THE ORANGERY sales from July 1999 and May 2007 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 1999 sale was for 69% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might THE ORANGERY be worth now?

THE ORANGERY might now be worth an estimated £491,292.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.5%, between May 2007 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 63.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ORANGERY of £300,495 on 31st May 2007. For the value to have increased from £300,495 to £491,292 over the sixteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ORANGERY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £300,495 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ORANGERY has not materially changed since May 2007.
