15 ROOKS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 15 ROOKS CLOSE sales between August 1996 and August 2015 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 May 2007 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 15 ROOKS CLOSE be worth now?

15 ROOKS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £308,306.

This is based on house price inflation of 34%, between August 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 ROOKS CLOSE of £230,000 on 18th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £308,306 over the eight years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 ROOKS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 15 ROOKS CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2015.
