WHISPERING PINES 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 four WHISPERING PINES sales between April 1997 and August 2022 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 July 2012 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might WHISPERING PINES be worth now?

WHISPERING PINES might now be worth an estimated £976,820.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.7%, between August 2022 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 4.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for WHISPERING PINES of £1,025,000 on 25th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £1,025,000 to £976,820 over the three years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHISPERING PINES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £1,025,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
