8 SHORT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 SHORT CLOSE sales between June 2006 and October 2023 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 July 2015 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 8 SHORT CLOSE be worth now?

8 SHORT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £280,818.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.5%, between October 2023 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 SHORT CLOSE of £285,000 on 2nd October 2023. For the value to have decreased from £285,000 to £280,818 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 SHORT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
