THE WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE WHITE COTTAGE sales between October 2005 and October 2014 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 August 2007 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 137% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 137% above the HPI.

What might THE WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,053,331.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.3%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE WHITE COTTAGE of £725,000 on 15th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £725,000 to £1,053,331 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £725,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
