LOBSTERS LAIR 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 two LOBSTERS LAIR sales from September 2003 and November 2016 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 2003 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.

What might LOBSTERS LAIR be worth now?

LOBSTERS LAIR might now be worth an estimated £990,640.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.7%, between November 2016 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 35.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOBSTERS LAIR of £730,000 on 10th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £730,000 to £990,640 over the nine years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOBSTERS LAIR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £730,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOBSTERS LAIR has not materially changed since November 2016.
