2 THE DRIFT 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 two 2 THE DRIFT sales from October 1996 and August 1999 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 October 1996 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the August 1999 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE DRIFT be worth now?

2 THE DRIFT might now be worth an estimated £373,187.

This is based on house price inflation of 339%, between August 1999 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 339% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE DRIFT of £85,000 on 24th August 1999. For the value to have increased from £85,000 to £373,187 over the 26 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE DRIFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 1999 sale price of £85,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE DRIFT has not materially changed since August 1999.
