AROSFA 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 two AROSFA sales from November 1998 and May 2017 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 1998 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might AROSFA be worth now?

AROSFA might now be worth an estimated £188,584.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.1%, between May 2017 and December 2024, 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 45.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for AROSFA of £130,000 on 8th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £188,584 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of AROSFA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of AROSFA has not materially changed since May 2017.
