ROSE 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 two ROSE COTTAGE sales from August 2002 and May 2018 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 August 2002 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £305,669.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.3%, between May 2018 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 35.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £226,000 on 25th May 2018. For the value to have increased from £226,000 to £305,669 over the five years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The May 2018 sale price of £226,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2018.
