ELMCROFT 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 two ELMCROFT sales from May 2012 and April 2016 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 2012 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might ELMCROFT be worth now?

ELMCROFT might now be worth an estimated £393,127.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.6%, between April 2016 and June 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 34.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELMCROFT of £292,000 on 5th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £292,000 to £393,127 over the eight years and ten months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELMCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £292,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELMCROFT has not materially changed since April 2016.
