OLD GROOMS QUARTERS 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 four OLD GROOMS QUARTERS sales between June 1998 and November 2013 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 January 2009 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
