RIDGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four RIDGE COTTAGE sales between July 2003 and December 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 May 2017 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might RIDGE COTTAGE be worth now?

RIDGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £483,828.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.4%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Mid Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for RIDGE COTTAGE of £495,750 on 3rd December 2021. For the value to have decreased from £495,750 to £483,828 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RIDGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Mid Devon local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £495,750 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RIDGE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2021.
