BROOK COTTAGE 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 three BROOK COTTAGE sales between May 2004 and June 2019 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 January 2005 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might BROOK COTTAGE be worth now?

BROOK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £433,026.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between June 2019 and February 2025, 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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK COTTAGE of £347,000 on 17th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £347,000 to £433,026 over the six years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £347,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2019.
