MAIDENCOMBE COTTAGE 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 MAIDENCOMBE COTTAGE sales from February 1995 and December 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 February 1995 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.

What might MAIDENCOMBE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.2%, between December 2014 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 55.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAIDENCOMBE COTTAGE of £530,000 on 11th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £530,000 to £822,473 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
