VICTORIA COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VICTORIA COTTAGE sales from August 1999 and September 2020 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 August 1999 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might VICTORIA COTTAGE be worth now?

VICTORIA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £513,170.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.7%, between September 2020 and February 2025, for semi-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 20.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VICTORIA COTTAGE of £425,000 on 2nd September 2020. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £513,170 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VICTORIA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VICTORIA COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2020.
