17 HIGHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 HIGHFIELD sales between June 1998 and August 2008 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 August 2002 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 17 HIGHFIELD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 47.3%, between August 2008 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 47.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 HIGHFIELD of £238,500 on 1st August 2008. For the value to have increased from £238,500 to £351,413 over the fifteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
