12 THE DOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 THE DOWN sales between September 1995 and April 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 February 2012 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 12 THE DOWN be worth now?

12 THE DOWN might now be worth an estimated £323,372.

This is based on house price inflation of 32%, between April 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 THE DOWN of £245,000 on 27th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £323,372 over the seven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 THE DOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Devon local authority area.
• The April 2018 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12 THE DOWN has not materially changed since April 2018.
