16 SWALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 SWALE CLOSE sales from June 1998 and June 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 June 1998 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 16 SWALE CLOSE be worth now?

16 SWALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £288,248.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.2%, between June 2004 and February 2025, for semi-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 80.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 SWALE CLOSE of £159,950 on 18th June 2004. For the value to have increased from £159,950 to £288,248 over the 21 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 SWALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The June 2004 sale price of £159,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
