LAUREL 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 LAUREL COTTAGE sales between December 2004 and October 2014 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 2005 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might LAUREL COTTAGE be worth now?

LAUREL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £313,186.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.6%, between October 2014 and February 2025, 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 56.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAUREL COTTAGE of £200,000 on 13th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £313,186 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAUREL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAUREL COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
