WEST LYN 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 WEST LYN sales between September 2006 and April 2022 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 2016 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might WEST LYN be worth now?

WEST LYN might now be worth an estimated £695,609.

This is based on house price inflation of 7%, between April 2022 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 7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST LYN of £650,000 on 8th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £650,000 to £695,609 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST LYN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £650,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST LYN has not materially changed since April 2022.
