ROCK 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 ROCK COTTAGE sales from July 2001 and March 2016 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 July 2001 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might ROCK COTTAGE be worth now?

ROCK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £577,499.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.3%, between March 2016 and February 2025, 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 28.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROCK COTTAGE of £450,000 on 9th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £577,499 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROCK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROCK COTTAGE has not materially changed since March 2016.
