TORWOOD 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 three TORWOOD sales between May 1999 and March 2021 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 April 2008 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.

What might TORWOOD be worth now?

TORWOOD might now be worth an estimated £855,419.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.5%, between March 2021 and December 2024, 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 19.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TORWOOD of £716,000 on 23rd March 2021. For the value to have increased from £716,000 to £855,419 over the two years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TORWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The March 2021 sale price of £716,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TORWOOD has not materially changed since March 2021.
