147 CHESTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 147 CHESTER CLOSE sales between June 1997 and November 2022 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 January 2008 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might 147 CHESTER CLOSE be worth now?

147 CHESTER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £290,396.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.6%, between November 2022 and February 2025, for semi-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 1.6% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 147 CHESTER CLOSE of £295,000 on 8th November 2022. For the value to have decreased from £295,000 to £290,396 over the three years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 147 CHESTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £295,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
