BIRDSONG 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 BIRDSONG sales between May 2014 and April 2019 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 2016 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might BIRDSONG be worth now?

BIRDSONG might now be worth an estimated £650,151.

This is based on house price inflation of 25%, between April 2019 and October 2025, 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 25% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRDSONG of £520,000 on 11th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £520,000 to £650,151 over the five years and six months to October 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRDSONG has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £520,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRDSONG has not materially changed since April 2019.
