THE CHESTNUTS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CHESTNUTS sales from August 2016 and August 2021 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 August 2016 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 133% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 133% above the HPI.

What might THE CHESTNUTS be worth now?

THE CHESTNUTS might now be worth an estimated £984,687.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between August 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CHESTNUTS of £880,000 on 27th August 2021. For the value to have increased from £880,000 to £984,687 over the four years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CHESTNUTS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Suffolk local authority area.
• The August 2021 sale price of £880,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CHESTNUTS has not materially changed since August 2021.
