MEWS 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 five MEWS COTTAGE sales between November 1999 and March 2022 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 July 2019 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, which was also at 46% below the HPI.

What might MEWS COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 0.2%, between March 2022 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 0.2% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for MEWS COTTAGE of £235,000 on 14th March 2022. For the value to have decreased from £235,000 to £234,623 over the three years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
