7 GARD 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 four 7 GARD CLOSE sales between June 2002 and August 2025 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 January 2016 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the August 2025 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 7 GARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 2.1%, between August 2025 and May 2026, 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 2.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 GARD CLOSE of £385,500 on 22nd August 2025. For the value to have decreased from £385,500 to £377,234 over the one year and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
