MELVILLE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MELVILLE sales from March 1997 and April 1999 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 March 1997 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the April 1999 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might MELVILLE be worth now?

MELVILLE might now be worth an estimated £326,083.

This is based on house price inflation of 340.7%, between April 1999 and February 2025, for 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 340.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELVILLE of £74,000 on 16th April 1999. For the value to have increased from £74,000 to £326,083 over the 26 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELVILLE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The April 1999 sale price of £74,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELVILLE has not materially changed since April 1999.
