BLUE SEAS 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 two BLUE SEAS sales from December 2007 and August 2016 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 December 2007 sale was for 106% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 106% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 139% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 139% above the HPI.

What might BLUE SEAS be worth now?

BLUE SEAS might now be worth an estimated £1,005,048.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.9%, between August 2016 and July 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 28.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BLUE SEAS of £780,000 on 19th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £780,000 to £1,005,048 over the nine years and one month to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLUE SEAS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £780,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLUE SEAS has not materially changed since August 2016.
