BRIDGE COTTAGE 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 BRIDGE COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and October 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 July 2000 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might BRIDGE COTTAGE be worth now?

BRIDGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £463,538.

This is based on house price inflation of 46%, between October 2014 and December 2024, 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 46% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRIDGE COTTAGE of £317,500 on 17th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £317,500 to £463,538 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRIDGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £317,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRIDGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
