8 LEWIS STREET 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 8 LEWIS STREET sales between November 2000 and March 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 May 2020 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 8 LEWIS STREET be worth now?
