What might DOWNSIDE be worth now?

DOWNSIDE might now be worth an estimated £255,806.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between December 2019 and May 2026, for semi-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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWNSIDE of £205,000 on 13th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £255,806 over the seven years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWNSIDE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £205,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWNSIDE has not materially changed since December 2019.
