WOODTHORPE 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 WOODTHORPE sales between October 1996 and February 2007 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 August 2002 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might WOODTHORPE be worth now?

WOODTHORPE might now be worth an estimated £689,293.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.3%, between February 2007 and February 2025, 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 65.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOODTHORPE of £417,070 on 14th February 2007. For the value to have increased from £417,070 to £689,293 over the eighteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOODTHORPE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The February 2007 sale price of £417,070 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WOODTHORPE has not materially changed since February 2007.
