GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE sales between March 1997 and December 2019 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 September 2004 sale was for 71% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE be worth now?

GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £260,571.

This is based on house price inflation of 28%, between December 2019 and December 2024, for semi-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 28% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE of £203,500 on 3rd December 2019. For the value to have increased from £203,500 to £260,571 over the five years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £203,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GOLDEN CLOSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2019.
