26 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Newport local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE sales between May 1995 and November 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 December 2016 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 26 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.1%, between November 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Newport local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE of £195,000 on 25th November 2019. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £247,888 over the four years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 BIRCHGROVE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Newport local authority area.
• The November 2019 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
