PORT 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 PORT COTTAGE sales from May 2007 and July 2017 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 May 2007 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might PORT COTTAGE be worth now?

PORT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £374,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.2%, between July 2017 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 35.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PORT COTTAGE of £277,000 on 19th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £374,527 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PORT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £277,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
