25 CHESTNUT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Caerphilly local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 25 CHESTNUT CLOSE sales between May 1997 and August 2024 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 November 1999 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.

What might 25 CHESTNUT CLOSE be worth now?

25 CHESTNUT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £284,195.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between August 2024 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Caerphilly local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 CHESTNUT CLOSE of £270,000 on 23rd August 2024. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £284,195 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 25 CHESTNUT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Caerphilly local authority area.
• The August 2024 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
