LYALS 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 three LYALS sales between August 2001 and July 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 September 2008 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might LYALS be worth now?

LYALS might now be worth an estimated £613,916.

This is based on house price inflation of 38%, between July 2016 and December 2024, 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 38% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYALS of £445,000 on 6th July 2016. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £613,916 over the seven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYALS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The July 2016 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYALS has not materially changed since July 2016.
