SWALLOW 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 three SWALLOW COTTAGE sales between December 1999 and November 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 September 2001 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might SWALLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

SWALLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £712,224.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.6%, between November 2020 and December 2024, 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 9.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWALLOW COTTAGE of £650,000 on 6th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £712,224 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWALLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWALLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2020.
