HOLLY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HOLLY COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and May 2017 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 September 2016 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might HOLLY COTTAGE be worth now?

HOLLY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £399,452.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.6%, between May 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 36.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLY COTTAGE of £292,500 on 31st May 2017. For the value to have increased from £292,500 to £399,452 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £292,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLLY COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2017.
