RUMSAM HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RUMSAM HOUSE sales from September 1996 and September 2012 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 1996 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might RUMSAM HOUSE be worth now?

RUMSAM HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £516,401.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.5%, between September 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RUMSAM HOUSE of £329,950 on 21st September 2012. For the value to have increased from £329,950 to £516,401 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RUMSAM HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £329,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RUMSAM HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2012.
