SOWDEN HOUSE 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 two SOWDEN HOUSE sales from March 2002 and July 2006 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 March 2002 sale was for 156% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 156% above the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it falls to 147% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 147% above the HPI.

What might SOWDEN HOUSE be worth now?

SOWDEN HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,318,868.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.7%, between July 2006 and March 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 69.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SOWDEN HOUSE of £777,061 on 26th July 2006. For the value to have increased from £777,061 to £1,318,868 over the nineteen years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SOWDEN HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The July 2006 sale price of £777,061 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SOWDEN HOUSE has not materially changed since July 2006.
