THE BEECHES 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 THE BEECHES sales from August 2004 and June 2007 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 August 2004 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might THE BEECHES be worth now?

THE BEECHES might now be worth an estimated £749,819.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.9%, between June 2007 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 57.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BEECHES of £475,000 on 15th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £749,819 over the eighteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BEECHES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BEECHES has not materially changed since June 2007.
