18 MERLIN WAY 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 five 18 MERLIN WAY sales between August 1999 and March 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 February 2008 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
