WEST DENE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WEST DENE sales from June 1998 and September 2002 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 June 1998 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the September 2002 sale, where it falls to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might WEST DENE be worth now?

WEST DENE might now be worth an estimated £719,100.

This is based on house price inflation of 139.7%, between September 2002 and February 2025, for 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 139.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST DENE of £300,000 on 9th September 2002. For the value to have increased from £300,000 to £719,100 over the 23 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST DENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The September 2002 sale price of £300,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST DENE has not materially changed since September 2002.
