7 THE DRIFTWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ipswich local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 THE DRIFTWAY sales from May 1998 and July 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 1998 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE DRIFTWAY be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 92.6%, between July 2009 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Ipswich local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 92.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE DRIFTWAY of £147,500 on 10th July 2009. For the value to have increased from £147,500 to £284,027 over the sixteen years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE DRIFTWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Ipswich local authority area.
• The July 2009 sale price of £147,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
