GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four GARDEN COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and October 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 October 2014 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £553,052.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.9%, between October 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDEN COTTAGE of £450,000 on 18th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £553,052 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2019.
