HIGH TORRE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH TORRE sales from December 1995 and July 2005 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 December 1995 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might HIGH TORRE be worth now?

HIGH TORRE might now be worth an estimated £479,182.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.1%, between July 2005 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH TORRE of £285,000 on 15th July 2005. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £479,182 over the eighteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH TORRE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cornwall local authority area.
• The July 2005 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH TORRE has not materially changed since July 2005.
