The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 303 BABBACOMBE ROAD sales between September 2001 and April 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 January 2006 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
