CROFT HOUSE 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 two CROFT HOUSE sales from March 1997 and February 2006 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 March 1997 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might CROFT HOUSE be worth now?

CROFT HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £432,156.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.1%, between February 2006 and December 2024, 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 60.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROFT HOUSE of £270,000 on 10th February 2006. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £432,156 over the seventeen years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROFT HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The February 2006 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROFT HOUSE has not materially changed since February 2006.
