ORESTONE 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 ORESTONE COTTAGE sales between July 1995 and September 2023 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 September 2015 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might ORESTONE COTTAGE be worth now?

ORESTONE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £758,898.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.5%, between September 2023 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 4.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for ORESTONE COTTAGE of £795,000 on 8th September 2023. For the value to have decreased from £795,000 to £758,898 over the two years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORESTONE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The September 2023 sale price of £795,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORESTONE COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2023.
