5 WOLSTON 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 five 5 WOLSTON CLOSE sales between April 1997 and October 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 May 2012 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 5 WOLSTON CLOSE be worth now?

5 WOLSTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £366,147.

This is based on house price inflation of 43%, between October 2015 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 43% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WOLSTON CLOSE of £256,000 on 30th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £256,000 to £366,147 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 WOLSTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
