GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from August 2012 and July 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 2012 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £294,831.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.6%, between July 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £227,500 on 17th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £227,500 to £294,831 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Devon local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £227,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2020.
