THE SECRET GARDEN 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 SECRET GARDEN sales between July 1997 and September 2012 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 2007 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might THE SECRET GARDEN be worth now?

THE SECRET GARDEN might now be worth an estimated £618,686.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.6%, between September 2012 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 56.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SECRET GARDEN of £395,000 on 5th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £395,000 to £618,686 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SECRET GARDEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The September 2012 sale price of £395,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SECRET GARDEN has not materially changed since September 2012.
