ENCO Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ENCO sales from August 1996 and March 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 August 1996 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.

What might ENCO be worth now?

ENCO might now be worth an estimated £727,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.6%, between March 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ENCO of £570,000 on 6th March 2020. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £727,046 over the three years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ENCO has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The March 2020 sale price of £570,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ENCO has not materially changed since March 2020.
