LYDGATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LYDGATE sales from December 1997 and July 2011 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 December 1997 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.

What might LYDGATE be worth now?

LYDGATE might now be worth an estimated £994,237.

This is based on house price inflation of 56%, between July 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Hams local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYDGATE of £637,500 on 1st July 2011. For the value to have increased from £637,500 to £994,237 over the fourteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYDGATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The July 2011 sale price of £637,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYDGATE has not materially changed since July 2011.
