COPSE COTTAGE 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 six COPSE COTTAGE sales between September 1997 and March 2022 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 2020 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.
