5 THE LINK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE LINK sales between September 1998 and October 2020 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 July 2001 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 5 THE LINK be worth now?

5 THE LINK might now be worth an estimated £350,571.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.8%, between October 2020 and August 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 18.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE LINK of £295,000 on 9th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £295,000 to £350,571 over the five years and two months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE LINK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE LINK has not materially changed since October 2020.
