BOWDEN CLEEVE 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 BOWDEN CLEEVE sales from December 1995 and October 2007 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 December 1995 sale was for 165% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 165% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it falls to 142% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 142% above the HPI.
