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 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 97% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 97% above the HPI.
