HOLCOMBE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HOLCOMBE sales between February 1998 and August 2012 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 November 1998 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might HOLCOMBE be worth now?

HOLCOMBE might now be worth an estimated £343,871.

This is based on house price inflation of 72%, between August 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 72% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLCOMBE of £199,950 on 24th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £199,950 to £343,871 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLCOMBE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £199,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLCOMBE has not materially changed since August 2012.
