The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 156 BABBACOMBE ROAD sales from January 2013 and February 2021 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 January 2013 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI.
