HIGHER LONGCOMBE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHER LONGCOMBE sales from August 2018 and October 2024 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 2018 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might HIGHER LONGCOMBE be worth now?

HIGHER LONGCOMBE might now be worth an estimated £758,233.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between October 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHER LONGCOMBE of £755,000 on 14th October 2024. For the value to have increased from £755,000 to £758,233 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHER LONGCOMBE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £755,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHER LONGCOMBE has not materially changed since October 2024.
