3 BIRCH LANE 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 four 3 BIRCH LANE sales between January 1997 and June 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 November 2011 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 3 BIRCH LANE be worth now?

3 BIRCH LANE might now be worth an estimated £382,779.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.7%, between June 2018 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 38.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BIRCH LANE of £276,000 on 5th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £276,000 to £382,779 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 BIRCH LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The June 2018 sale price of £276,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 BIRCH LANE has not materially changed since June 2018.
