25 MERLIN WAY 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 five 25 MERLIN WAY sales between August 1997 and October 2023 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 October 2020 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 25 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 2.3%, between October 2023 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 2.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 MERLIN WAY of £255,000 on 10th October 2023. For the value to have decreased from £255,000 to £249,036 over the two years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 MERLIN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2023 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
