5 BENSON 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 two 5 BENSON CLOSE sales from February 2000 and October 2005 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 February 2000 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 5 BENSON CLOSE be worth now?

5 BENSON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £289,523.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.4%, between October 2005 and February 2025, 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 65.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BENSON CLOSE of £175,000 on 31st October 2005. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £289,523 over the twenty years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
