MOUSE 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 MOUSE COTTAGE sales from December 2005 and January 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 December 2005 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might MOUSE COTTAGE be worth now?

MOUSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £481,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.4%, between January 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 1.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOUSE COTTAGE of £475,000 on 28th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £481,527 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOUSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOUSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2022.
