18 HIGHERTOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 HIGHERTOWN sales from September 2002 and July 2013 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 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 18 HIGHERTOWN be worth now?

18 HIGHERTOWN might now be worth an estimated £364,129.

This is based on house price inflation of 57%, between July 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 57% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 HIGHERTOWN of £232,000 on 29th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £232,000 to £364,129 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 HIGHERTOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £232,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 HIGHERTOWN has not materially changed since July 2013.
