DANESCROFT 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 four DANESCROFT sales between June 2001 and October 2020 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 August 2016 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might DANESCROFT be worth now?

DANESCROFT might now be worth an estimated £856,276.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between October 2020 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 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DANESCROFT of £719,000 on 29th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £719,000 to £856,276 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DANESCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £719,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DANESCROFT has not materially changed since October 2020.
