23 BLAKE 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 three 23 BLAKE CLOSE sales between November 1999 and June 2024 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 May 2001 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 23 BLAKE CLOSE be worth now?

23 BLAKE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £196,921.

This is based on house price inflation of 1%, between June 2024 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 1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 BLAKE CLOSE of £195,000 on 28th June 2024. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £196,921 over the one year and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 BLAKE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The June 2024 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
