The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 118 THE HIGHWAY sales from October 2003 and July 2011 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 October 2003 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
118 THE HIGHWAY might now be worth an estimated £388,860.
This is based on house price inflation of 60.7%, between July 2011 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Torfaen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 60.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 118 THE HIGHWAY of £242,000 on 14th July 2011. For the value to have increased from £242,000 to £388,860 over the twelve years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
