Land registry data shows two sales for PALM HOUSE since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Torbay local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two PALM HOUSE sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2009 21 APR | £370,000 | £257,543 | ![]() 44% above HPI |
2003 17 FEB | £283,500 | £211,778 | ![]() 34% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PALM HOUSE sales from February 2003 and April 2009 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 2003 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the April 2009 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
PALM HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £624,864.
This is based on house price inflation of 68.9%, between April 2009 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 68.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PALM HOUSE of £370,000 on 21st April 2009. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £624,864 over the sixteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
