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 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might OLD GROOMS QUARTERS be worth now?

OLD GROOMS QUARTERS might now be worth an estimated £442,315.

This is based on house price inflation of 58%, between November 2013 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 58% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD GROOMS QUARTERS of £280,000 on 22nd November 2013. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £442,315 over the twelve years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD GROOMS QUARTERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The November 2013 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD GROOMS QUARTERS has not materially changed since November 2013.
