SEA 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 SEA COTTAGE sales from February 1998 and July 2014 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 February 1998 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might SEA COTTAGE be worth now?

SEA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £563,485.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.3%, between July 2014 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 48.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SEA COTTAGE of £380,000 on 3rd July 2014. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £563,485 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SEA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SEA COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2014.
