688 NEWPORT ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cardiff local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 688 NEWPORT ROAD sales between April 1996 and August 2007 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 May 2004 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 688 NEWPORT ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.2%, between August 2007 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cardiff local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 688 NEWPORT ROAD of £146,250 on 31st August 2007. For the value to have increased from £146,250 to £250,395 over the eighteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
