10 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 10 THE CLOSE sales from May 2003 and May 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 May 2003 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 10 THE CLOSE be worth now?

10 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £345,329.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.5%, between May 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Torbay local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 THE CLOSE of £232,500 on 12th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £232,500 to £345,329 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The May 2015 sale price of £232,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
