TREE TOPS 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 TREE TOPS sales between December 2005 and May 2018 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 2015 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.
