ORESTONE COTTAGE 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 four ORESTONE COTTAGE sales between July 1995 and September 2023 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 September 2015 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the September 2023 sale, where it rises to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.
