THE LAURELS 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 three THE LAURELS sales between December 2004 and March 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 October 2014 sale was for 107% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 107% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 174% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 174% above the HPI.
