RHOSWEN 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 RHOSWEN sales from July 2000 and May 2014 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 July 2000 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might RHOSWEN be worth now?

RHOSWEN might now be worth an estimated £359,089.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.8%, between May 2014 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 61.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RHOSWEN of £222,000 on 16th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £222,000 to £359,089 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RHOSWEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £222,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RHOSWEN has not materially changed since May 2014.
