BLACKPOST 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 BLACKPOST COTTAGE sales between October 2002 and May 2020 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 December 2017 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might BLACKPOST COTTAGE be worth now?

BLACKPOST COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £606,089.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.7%, between May 2020 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 23.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLACKPOST COTTAGE of £490,000 on 28th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £606,089 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLACKPOST COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £490,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
