THE SQUIRRELS 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 SQUIRRELS sales between January 2000 and March 2016 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 2010 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might THE SQUIRRELS be worth now?

THE SQUIRRELS might now be worth an estimated £449,906.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.7%, between March 2016 and December 2024, 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 41.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SQUIRRELS of £317,500 on 23rd March 2016. For the value to have increased from £317,500 to £449,906 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SQUIRRELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £317,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SQUIRRELS has not materially changed since March 2016.
