FIRCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRCROFT sales from August 2006 and September 2018 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 August 2006 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might FIRCROFT be worth now?

FIRCROFT might now be worth an estimated £368,038.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.4%, between September 2018 and March 2025, for semi-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 31.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRCROFT of £280,000 on 21st September 2018. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £368,038 over the seven years and six months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The September 2018 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRCROFT has not materially changed since September 2018.
