UPPER STYLE 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 UPPER STYLE sales between January 1999 and June 2013 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 2000 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might UPPER STYLE be worth now?

UPPER STYLE might now be worth an estimated £529,369.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.9%, between June 2013 and December 2024, 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 62.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for UPPER STYLE of £325,000 on 5th June 2013. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £529,369 over the ten years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of UPPER STYLE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The June 2013 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of UPPER STYLE has not materially changed since June 2013.
