APRIL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four APRIL COTTAGE sales between July 1995 and September 2017 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 October 2015 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might APRIL COTTAGE be worth now?

APRIL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £199,498.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.2%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 31.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for APRIL COTTAGE of £152,000 on 1st September 2017. For the value to have increased from £152,000 to £199,498 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of APRIL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the East Devon local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £152,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of APRIL COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2017.
