HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Teignbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HOPE COTTAGE sales between February 2002 and January 2020 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 April 2016 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.

What might HOPE COTTAGE be worth now?

HOPE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £572,862.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.2%, between January 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Teignbridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOPE COTTAGE of £440,000 on 9th January 2020. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £572,862 over the three years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOPE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Teignbridge local authority area.
• The January 2020 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOPE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2020.
