CROSS ORCHARD 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 CROSS ORCHARD sales from April 1996 and July 2001 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 April 1996 sale was for 121% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 121% above the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might CROSS ORCHARD be worth now?

CROSS ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £989,037.

This is based on house price inflation of 193%, between July 2001 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 193% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CROSS ORCHARD of £337,552 on 26th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £337,552 to £989,037 over the 22 years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CROSS ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The July 2001 sale price of £337,552 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CROSS ORCHARD has not materially changed since July 2001.
