The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 472 BABBACOMBE ROAD sales from April 1999 and August 2001 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 April 1999 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI.
