1 LYDWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Caerphilly local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 LYDWOOD CLOSE sales from February 1998 and August 1998 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 February 1998 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the August 1998 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 1 LYDWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 341.6%, between August 1998 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Caerphilly local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 341.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 LYDWOOD CLOSE of £52,000 on 28th August 1998. For the value to have increased from £52,000 to £229,642 over the 28 years and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
