4 SCHOOLS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 SCHOOLS CLOSE sales from May 2006 and February 2009 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 May 2006 sale was for 79% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% below the HPI over time, until the February 2009 sale, where it rises to 75% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% below the HPI.

What might 4 SCHOOLS CLOSE be worth now?

4 SCHOOLS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £111,382.

This is based on house price inflation of 98%, between February 2009 and June 2025, for 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 98% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 SCHOOLS CLOSE of £56,250 on 18th February 2009. For the value to have increased from £56,250 to £111,382 over the fifteen years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 SCHOOLS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The February 2009 sale price of £56,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 SCHOOLS CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2009.
