FAIR VIEW 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 FAIR VIEW COTTAGE sales between April 1999 and May 2013 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 December 2009 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might FAIR VIEW COTTAGE be worth now?

FAIR VIEW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £582,684.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.5%, between May 2013 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 57.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FAIR VIEW COTTAGE of £370,000 on 24th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £582,684 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FAIR VIEW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FAIR VIEW COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2013.
