THE ANCHORAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ANCHORAGE sales from September 1997 and September 2005 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 September 1997 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might THE ANCHORAGE be worth now?

THE ANCHORAGE might now be worth an estimated £374,656.

This is based on house price inflation of 66.5%, between September 2005 and March 2025, for detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ANCHORAGE of £225,000 on 30th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £374,656 over the twenty years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ANCHORAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Devon local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ANCHORAGE has not materially changed since September 2005.
