BEACON DOWNE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Exeter local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BEACON DOWNE sales from January 1995 and March 2014 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 January 1995 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it rises to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might BEACON DOWNE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 51.2%, between March 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Exeter local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEACON DOWNE of £685,000 on 31st March 2014. For the value to have increased from £685,000 to £1,036,002 over the nine years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
