MERRIFIELDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRIFIELDS sales between April 1995 and July 2018 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 October 1997 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might MERRIFIELDS be worth now?

MERRIFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £559,049.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.7%, between July 2018 and July 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 17.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRIFIELDS of £475,000 on 17th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £559,049 over the seven years to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRIFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Suffolk local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRIFIELDS has not materially changed since July 2018.
