THE RETREAT Sold Prices

Land registry data shows two sales for THE RETREAT since 1^st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Cornwall local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE RETREAT sales were for below the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).

Date	Price	HPI Price	Variation from HPI
2001 30 JUL	£90,000	£130,773	31% below HPI
1998 24 JUL	£48,000	£91,545	48% below HPI

THE RETREAT 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 two THE RETREAT sales from July 1998 and July 2001 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 July 1998 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might THE RETREAT be worth now?

THE RETREAT might now be worth an estimated £300,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 234.3%, between July 2001 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 234.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE RETREAT of £90,000 on 30th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £90,000 to £300,909 over the 24 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE RETREAT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The July 2001 sale price of £90,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE RETREAT has not materially changed since July 2001.
