45 MERLIN WAY 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 three 45 MERLIN WAY sales between March 1999 and October 2014 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 November 2008 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 45 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

The 52.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 MERLIN WAY of £263,000 on 6th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £263,000 to £401,343 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
