BLUE GATES 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 five BLUE GATES sales between February 1996 and November 2017 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 2005 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might BLUE GATES be worth now?

BLUE GATES might now be worth an estimated £397,328.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.3%, between November 2017 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 30.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLUE GATES of £305,000 on 17th November 2017. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £397,328 over the eight years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLUE GATES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLUE GATES has not materially changed since November 2017.
