The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 BLAKE CLOSE sales between May 2014 and March 2024 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 2018 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, which was also at 43% below the HPI.
