BEREA 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 BEREA sales from March 2014 and April 2016 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 March 2014 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might BEREA be worth now?

BEREA might now be worth an estimated £523,253.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.5%, between April 2016 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 40.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEREA of £372,500 on 18th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £372,500 to £523,253 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEREA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £372,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEREA has not materially changed since April 2016.
