THE NUTSHELL 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 four THE NUTSHELL sales between January 2007 and June 2016 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 February 2009 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might THE NUTSHELL be worth now?

THE NUTSHELL might now be worth an estimated £750,498.

This is based on house price inflation of 43%, between June 2016 and December 2024, 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 43% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE NUTSHELL of £525,000 on 29th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £750,498 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE NUTSHELL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE NUTSHELL has not materially changed since June 2016.
