49 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 three 49 HIGHERTOWN sales between February 1998 and May 2010 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 October 1999 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 49 HIGHERTOWN be worth now?

49 HIGHERTOWN might now be worth an estimated £358,885.

This is based on house price inflation of 56%, between May 2010 and December 2024, 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 56% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 49 HIGHERTOWN of £230,000 on 26th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £358,885 over the thirteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 49 HIGHERTOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 49 HIGHERTOWN has not materially changed since May 2010.
