18 FIRECREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 18 FIRECREST DRIVE sales between July 2004 and May 2017 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 April 2010 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 18 FIRECREST DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28.4%, between May 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 28.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 FIRECREST DRIVE of £236,000 on 2nd May 2017. For the value to have increased from £236,000 to £303,027 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
