7 LAURISTON 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 7 LAURISTON CLOSE sales from September 1996 and October 2002 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 September 1996 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might 7 LAURISTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 117.1%, between October 2002 and February 2025, 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 117.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 LAURISTON CLOSE of £280,000 on 18th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £607,867 over the 23 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
