DARKES FARM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DARKES FARM sales from May 2006 and August 2008 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 May 2006 sale was for 179% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 179% above the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might DARKES FARM be worth now?

DARKES FARM might now be worth an estimated £644,403.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between August 2008 and April 2026, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DARKES FARM of £435,000 on 15th August 2008. For the value to have increased from £435,000 to £644,403 over the eighteen years and four months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DARKES FARM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The August 2008 sale price of £435,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DARKES FARM has not materially changed since August 2008.
