XANADU 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 XANADU sales from February 1999 and February 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 February 1999 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, which was also at 47% above the HPI.

What might XANADU be worth now?

XANADU might now be worth an estimated £640,215.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.3%, between February 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 80.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for XANADU of £355,000 on 27th February 2004. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £640,215 over the 21 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of XANADU has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The February 2004 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of XANADU has not materially changed since February 2004.
