MARCOMBE LODGE 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 MARCOMBE LODGE sales between August 1997 and July 2003 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 1997 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might MARCOMBE LODGE be worth now?

MARCOMBE LODGE might now be worth an estimated £388,482.

This is based on house price inflation of 97.2%, between July 2003 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 97.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARCOMBE LODGE of £197,000 on 30th July 2003. For the value to have increased from £197,000 to £388,482 over the 22 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARCOMBE LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The July 2003 sale price of £197,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARCOMBE LODGE has not materially changed since July 2003.
