7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE 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 7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE sales from January 1999 and January 2006 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 January 1999 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE be worth now?

7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £263,078.

This is based on house price inflation of 76%, between January 2006 and May 2026, 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 76% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE of £149,500 on 6th January 2006. For the value to have increased from £149,500 to £263,078 over the nineteen years and eight months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The January 2006 sale price of £149,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 BLACKBIRD CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2006.
