SOWDEN EDGE 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 three SOWDEN EDGE sales between June 2004 and May 2020 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 2012 sale was for 106% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 106% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 107% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 107% above the HPI.

What might SOWDEN EDGE be worth now?

SOWDEN EDGE might now be worth an estimated £1,116,037.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.2%, between May 2020 and February 2025, 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 22.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOWDEN EDGE of £913,000 on 28th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £913,000 to £1,116,037 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOWDEN EDGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £913,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOWDEN EDGE has not materially changed since May 2020.
