278 HIGH STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Caerphilly local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 278 HIGH STREET sales between July 2002 and September 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 August 2003 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
