BEACON 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 two BEACON COTTAGE sales from July 1997 and March 2004 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 July 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might BEACON COTTAGE be worth now?

BEACON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £984,932.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.4%, between March 2004 and February 2025, 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 97.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEACON COTTAGE of £499,000 on 11th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £499,000 to £984,932 over the 21 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEACON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The March 2004 sale price of £499,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEACON COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2004.
