SHANDON 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 two SHANDON sales from February 2001 and May 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 2001 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might SHANDON be worth now?

SHANDON might now be worth an estimated £437,865.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.1%, between May 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 75.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SHANDON of £250,000 on 1st May 2009. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £437,865 over the sixteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHANDON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The May 2009 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHANDON has not materially changed since May 2009.
