WALNUT TREE COTTAGE 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 WALNUT TREE COTTAGE sales from February 2002 and March 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 February 2002 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
