HIGH PINES 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 HIGH PINES sales between September 1996 and October 2014 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 February 2007 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might HIGH PINES be worth now?

HIGH PINES might now be worth an estimated £578,672.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.3%, between October 2014 and March 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 54.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH PINES of £375,000 on 24th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £578,672 over the eleven years and seven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH PINES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH PINES has not materially changed since October 2014.
