CASTLE DENE 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 three CASTLE DENE sales between September 2000 and February 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 November 2002 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might CASTLE DENE be worth now?

CASTLE DENE might now be worth an estimated £258,381.

This is based on house price deflation of 6.6%, between February 2023 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 6.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for CASTLE DENE of £276,500 on 20th February 2023. For the value to have decreased from £276,500 to £258,381 over the two years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CASTLE DENE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
