WEST DENE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WEST DENE sales between June 1998 and February 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 September 2002 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it rises to 118% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 118% above the HPI.

What might WEST DENE be worth now?

WEST DENE might now be worth an estimated £1,041,878.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between February 2025 and May 2026, for 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 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST DENE of £1,037,500 on 28th February 2025. For the value to have increased from £1,037,500 to £1,041,878 over the nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST DENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Babergh local authority area.
• The February 2025 sale price of £1,037,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST DENE has not materially changed since February 2025.
