ALMORAH 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 ALMORAH sales between July 2015 and July 2023 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 September 2017 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might ALMORAH be worth now?

ALMORAH might now be worth an estimated £281,021.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.4%, between July 2023 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 1.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for ALMORAH of £285,000 on 21st July 2023. For the value to have decreased from £285,000 to £281,021 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ALMORAH has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ALMORAH has not materially changed since July 2023.
