WEST GATE 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 two WEST GATE sales from September 1996 and May 2016 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 1996 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might WEST GATE be worth now?

WEST GATE might now be worth an estimated £971,049.

This is based on house price inflation of 42.4%, between May 2016 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 42.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST GATE of £682,000 on 6th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £682,000 to £971,049 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST GATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £682,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST GATE has not materially changed since May 2016.
