HIGHFIELD 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 three HIGHFIELD sales between October 1996 and July 2012 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 1999 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might HIGHFIELD be worth now?

HIGHFIELD might now be worth an estimated £436,694.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between July 2012 and February 2025, 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 54.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHFIELD of £282,250 on 10th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £282,250 to £436,694 over the thirteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £282,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHFIELD has not materially changed since July 2012.
