WERN HOUSE 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 three WERN HOUSE sales between May 2002 and May 2013 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 May 2005 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might WERN HOUSE be worth now?

WERN HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £394,115.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.9%, between May 2013 and March 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 60.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WERN HOUSE of £245,000 on 24th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £394,115 over the twelve years and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WERN HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torfaen local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WERN HOUSE has not materially changed since May 2013.
