LITTLECOMBE 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 three LITTLECOMBE sales between August 2012 and February 2018 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 2015 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might LITTLECOMBE be worth now?

LITTLECOMBE might now be worth an estimated £652,734.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.7%, between February 2018 and February 2025, 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 26.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLECOMBE of £515,000 on 26th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £652,734 over the seven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLECOMBE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLECOMBE has not materially changed since February 2018.
