BAY VIEW 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 BAY VIEW sales from May 2010 and June 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 May 2010 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 136% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 136% above the HPI.

What might BAY VIEW be worth now?

BAY VIEW might now be worth an estimated £1,037,848.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.7%, between June 2014 and December 2024, 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 54.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BAY VIEW of £671,000 on 30th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £671,000 to £1,037,848 over the nine years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BAY VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £671,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BAY VIEW has not materially changed since June 2014.
