LONGDOWN 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 three LONGDOWN sales between December 1999 and February 2016 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 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might LONGDOWN be worth now?

LONGDOWN might now be worth an estimated £594,357.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.2%, between February 2016 and December 2024, 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 43.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGDOWN of £415,000 on 9th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £594,357 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGDOWN has not materially changed since February 2016.
