SANDBOURNE 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 SANDBOURNE sales from March 1997 and October 2019 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 March 1997 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might SANDBOURNE be worth now?

SANDBOURNE might now be worth an estimated £344,513.

This is based on house price inflation of 23%, between October 2019 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 23% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SANDBOURNE of £280,000 on 4th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £344,513 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SANDBOURNE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SANDBOURNE has not materially changed since October 2019.
