LOWER CROFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LOWER CROFT COTTAGE sales from April 2002 and April 2012 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 2002 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might LOWER CROFT COTTAGE be worth now?

LOWER CROFT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £264,540.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.3%, between April 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOWER CROFT COTTAGE of £163,000 on 2nd April 2012. For the value to have increased from £163,000 to £264,540 over the thirteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOWER CROFT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The April 2012 sale price of £163,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOWER CROFT COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2012.
