15 MESSENGER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 MESSENGER CLOSE sales from July 1999 and April 2004 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 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 15 MESSENGER CLOSE be worth now?

15 MESSENGER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £286,023.

This is based on house price inflation of 107.3%, between April 2004 and October 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 107.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 MESSENGER CLOSE of £137,950 on 29th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £137,950 to £286,023 over the twenty years and six months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The April 2004 sale price of £137,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
