AFON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three AFON COTTAGE sales between January 1998 and February 2020 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 November 2000 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.

What might AFON COTTAGE be worth now?

AFON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £142,304.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.7%, between February 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Torfaen local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for AFON COTTAGE of £116,000 on 6th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £116,000 to £142,304 over the five years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of AFON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £116,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of AFON COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2020.
