TARA 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 TARA sales from August 2016 and March 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 August 2016 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might TARA be worth now?

TARA might now be worth an estimated £664,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 32%, between March 2019 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 32% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TARA of £503,500 on 11th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £503,500 to £664,690 over the six years to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TARA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £503,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TARA has not materially changed since March 2019.
