IVY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two IVY COTTAGE sales from August 2012 and March 2018 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 2012 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £451,776.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.3%, between March 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £355,000 on 26th March 2018. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £451,776 over the seven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The March 2018 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2018.
