2 MARLOWE 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 2 MARLOWE CLOSE sales from September 1996 and October 2014 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 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 2 MARLOWE CLOSE be worth now?

2 MARLOWE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £315,886.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.6%, between October 2014 and February 2025, 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 52.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MARLOWE CLOSE of £207,000 on 29th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £207,000 to £315,886 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
