PORTHGELLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three PORTHGELLY sales between March 1998 and February 2021 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 2010 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 88% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 88% above the HPI.

What might PORTHGELLY be worth now?

PORTHGELLY might now be worth an estimated £836,809.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.4%, between February 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PORTHGELLY of £725,000 on 16th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £836,809 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PORTHGELLY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PORTHGELLY has not materially changed since February 2021.
