THE WILDERNESS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Teignbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE WILDERNESS sales from January 1998 and October 2017 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 January 1998 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might THE WILDERNESS be worth now?

THE WILDERNESS might now be worth an estimated £697,321.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.8%, between October 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Teignbridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 26.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE WILDERNESS of £549,999 on 4th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £549,999 to £697,321 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE WILDERNESS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Teignbridge local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £549,999 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE WILDERNESS has not materially changed since October 2017.
