GWELENYS 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 GWELENYS sales from June 2005 and August 2016 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 June 2005 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might GWELENYS be worth now?

GWELENYS might now be worth an estimated £820,764.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.3%, between August 2016 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 45.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GWELENYS of £565,000 on 19th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £820,764 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GWELENYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GWELENYS has not materially changed since August 2016.
