9 BENCH TOR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 9 BENCH TOR CLOSE sales between April 2005 and January 2020 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 March 2016 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI.
