MEWS COTTAGE 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 MEWS COTTAGE sales from August 2006 and January 2024 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 2006 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might MEWS COTTAGE be worth now?

MEWS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £303,823.

This is based on house price deflation of 3.5%, between January 2024 and December 2024, 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 3.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for MEWS COTTAGE of £315,000 on 15th January 2024. For the value to have decreased from £315,000 to £303,823 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MEWS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MEWS COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2024.
