8 WHATLEY 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 three 8 WHATLEY CLOSE sales between February 2008 and May 2025 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 November 2013 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2025 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
