7 THE 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 THE CLOSE sales from September 1996 and January 2014 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 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 7 THE CLOSE be worth now?

7 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £360,932.

This is based on house price inflation of 58%, between January 2014 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 58% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE CLOSE of £228,500 on 27th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £228,500 to £360,932 over the ten years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The January 2014 sale price of £228,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2014.
