The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 THE CLOSE sales from July 2001 and May 2026 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2001 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the May 2026 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
