STEPPING STONES 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 STEPPING STONES sales from October 1996 and November 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 October 1996 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might STEPPING STONES be worth now?

STEPPING STONES might now be worth an estimated £419,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.6%, between November 2012 and June 2025, 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 52.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for STEPPING STONES of £275,000 on 30th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £419,527 over the thirteen years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of STEPPING STONES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of STEPPING STONES has not materially changed since November 2012.
