2 KENSEY CLOSE 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 2 KENSEY CLOSE sales from July 1999 and October 2002 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 1999 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 2 KENSEY CLOSE be worth now?

2 KENSEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £538,396.

This is based on house price inflation of 117.1%, between October 2002 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 117.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 KENSEY CLOSE of £248,000 on 24th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £248,000 to £538,396 over the 23 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 KENSEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2002 sale price of £248,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
