The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 40 MELFORD ROAD sales between August 1995 and April 2012 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 2005 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
40 MELFORD ROAD might now be worth an estimated £453,214.
This is based on house price inflation of 69.1%, between April 2012 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 69.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 MELFORD ROAD of £268,000 on 27th April 2012. For the value to have increased from £268,000 to £453,214 over the twelve years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
