HIGHWAYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHWAYS sales from May 1997 and August 2002 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 May 1997 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might HIGHWAYS be worth now?

HIGHWAYS might now be worth an estimated £699,682.

This is based on house price inflation of 156.1%, between August 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Hams local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 156.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHWAYS of £273,200 on 19th August 2002. For the value to have increased from £273,200 to £699,682 over the 23 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHWAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The August 2002 sale price of £273,200 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHWAYS has not materially changed since August 2002.
