6 SWALE 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 6 SWALE CLOSE sales from November 2012 and May 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 November 2012 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 6 SWALE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.5%, between May 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 48.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 SWALE CLOSE of £227,000 on 15th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £227,000 to £337,160 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
