8 KENSEY 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 8 KENSEY CLOSE sales from May 2007 and April 2017 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 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 8 KENSEY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34.3%, between April 2017 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 34.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 KENSEY CLOSE of £415,000 on 12th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £557,187 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
