BAY TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BAY TREE COTTAGE sales between May 1996 and May 2017 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 April 2003 sale was for 66% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might BAY TREE COTTAGE be worth now?

BAY TREE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £359,882.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.1%, between May 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Hams local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 41.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAY TREE COTTAGE of £255,000 on 5th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £359,882 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAY TREE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
