BEECHCROFT 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 four BEECHCROFT sales between October 2004 and December 2022 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 November 2011 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might BEECHCROFT be worth now?

BEECHCROFT might now be worth an estimated £296,945.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.7%, between December 2022 and December 2024, 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 5.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECHCROFT of £315,000 on 1st December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £315,000 to £296,945 over the two years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEECHCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECHCROFT has not materially changed since December 2022.
