HIGHTREES 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 HIGHTREES sales between January 1999 and June 2015 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 2002 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might HIGHTREES be worth now?

HIGHTREES might now be worth an estimated £385,953.

This is based on house price inflation of 55%, between June 2015 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 55% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHTREES of £249,000 on 17th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £249,000 to £385,953 over the ten years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHTREES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £249,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHTREES has not materially changed since June 2015.
