THE GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE GARDEN COTTAGE sales from September 2000 and April 2003 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 2000 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the April 2003 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might THE GARDEN COTTAGE be worth now?

THE GARDEN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £188,928.

This is based on house price inflation of 122.3%, between April 2003 and December 2024, for semi-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 122.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE GARDEN COTTAGE of £85,000 on 29th April 2003. For the value to have increased from £85,000 to £188,928 over the twenty years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE GARDEN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The April 2003 sale price of £85,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE GARDEN COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2003.
