1 DOWN CLOSE 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 four 1 DOWN CLOSE sales between October 1995 and March 2012 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 2003 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 1 DOWN CLOSE be worth now?

1 DOWN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £482,909.

This is based on house price inflation of 57%, between March 2012 and June 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 57% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DOWN CLOSE of £307,500 on 29th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £307,500 to £482,909 over the twelve years and nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 DOWN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The March 2012 sale price of £307,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 DOWN CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2012.
