THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and July 2004 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 December 1997 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £395,215.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.1%, between July 2004 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Mid Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 97.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £200,500 on 2nd July 2004. For the value to have increased from £200,500 to £395,215 over the 21 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Mid Suffolk local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £200,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2004.
