98 BESSEMER DRIVE 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 two 98 BESSEMER DRIVE sales from December 2015 and April 2021 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 2015 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 98 BESSEMER DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between April 2021 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 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 98 BESSEMER DRIVE of £200,000 on 30th April 2021. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £238,306 over the two years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
