LEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LEY COTTAGE sales between April 2002 and November 2015 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 November 2009 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might LEY COTTAGE be worth now?

LEY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £568,897.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.3%, between November 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Hams local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEY COTTAGE of £417,500 on 26th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £417,500 to £568,897 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Hams local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £417,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEY COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2015.
