BIRCHANGER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHANGER sales between November 1997 and February 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 February 2016 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHANGER be worth now?

BIRCHANGER might now be worth an estimated £659,784.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.1%, between February 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHANGER of £605,000 on 15th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £605,000 to £659,784 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHANGER has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £605,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCHANGER has not materially changed since February 2022.
