8 THATCHER HEIGHTS 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 THATCHER HEIGHTS sales from January 1996 and May 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 January 1996 sale was for 288% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 288% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it falls to 145% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 145% above the HPI.

What might 8 THATCHER HEIGHTS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 153.7%, between May 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 153.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 THATCHER HEIGHTS of £420,000 on 10th May 2002. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £1,065,604 over the 23 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
