42 BARCOMBE ROAD 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 three 42 BARCOMBE ROAD sales between April 1996 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 June 2017 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 42 BARCOMBE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.9%, between February 2021 and December 2024, 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 16.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 BARCOMBE ROAD of £305,000 on 24th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £356,611 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
