The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 MELBOURNE DRIVE sales from July 1999 and April 2002 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 1999 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
79 MELBOURNE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £415,074.
This is based on house price inflation of 174.9%, between April 2002 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the West Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 174.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 MELBOURNE DRIVE of £151,000 on 5th April 2002. For the value to have increased from £151,000 to £415,074 over the 22 years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
