5 BIRCH LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BIRCH LANE sales from August 2002 and September 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 August 2002 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, which was also at 1% above the HPI.

What might 5 BIRCH LANE be worth now?

5 BIRCH LANE might now be worth an estimated £302,415.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.9%, between September 2005 and March 2025, for semi-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 70.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BIRCH LANE of £177,000 on 28th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £177,000 to £302,415 over the twenty years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 BIRCH LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £177,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 BIRCH LANE has not materially changed since September 2005.
