LONG COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LONG COTTAGE sales from November 2014 and August 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 November 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might LONG COTTAGE be worth now?

LONG COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £482,206.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.3%, between August 2017 and February 2025, for 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 30.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONG COTTAGE of £370,000 on 17th August 2017. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £482,206 over the eight years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONG COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONG COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2017.
