4 FORGE 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 4 FORGE CLOSE sales from April 2009 and December 2015 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 2009 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 4 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 42.1%, between December 2015 and June 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 42.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 FORGE CLOSE of £194,450 on 23rd December 2015. For the value to have increased from £194,450 to £276,400 over the ten years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
