ORCHARD 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 four ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between June 2002 and October 2015 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 February 2007 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £446,486.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.7%, between October 2015 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 41.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £315,000 on 30th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £446,486 over the ten years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
