MARLOW 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 MARLOW sales from March 2017 and September 2020 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 March 2017 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might MARLOW be worth now?

MARLOW might now be worth an estimated £916,713.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.6%, between September 2020 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 20.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARLOW of £760,000 on 18th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £760,000 to £916,713 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARLOW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £760,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARLOW has not materially changed since September 2020.
