SHEPLEY 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 SHEPLEY sales from April 1998 and April 2004 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 April 1998 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might SHEPLEY be worth now?

SHEPLEY might now be worth an estimated £449,630.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.6%, between April 2004 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 80.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SHEPLEY of £249,000 on 15th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £249,000 to £449,630 over the 21 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHEPLEY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The April 2004 sale price of £249,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHEPLEY has not materially changed since April 2004.
