THE POPPINS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE POPPINS sales between January 2000 and July 2010 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 2003 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might THE POPPINS be worth now?

THE POPPINS might now be worth an estimated £256,639.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.5%, between July 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE POPPINS of £165,000 on 8th July 2010. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £256,639 over the fifteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE POPPINS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE POPPINS has not materially changed since July 2010.
