SIDEWAYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SIDEWAYS sales between May 1998 and August 2008 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 December 2005 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might SIDEWAYS be worth now?

SIDEWAYS might now be worth an estimated £418,932.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.6%, between August 2008 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the East Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SIDEWAYS of £262,500 on 18th August 2008. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £418,932 over the fifteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SIDEWAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The August 2008 sale price of £262,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SIDEWAYS has not materially changed since August 2008.
