12 MERGANSER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 MERGANSER CLOSE sales between June 1995 and June 2021 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 2003 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 12 MERGANSER CLOSE be worth now?

12 MERGANSER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £351,582.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.4%, between June 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bridgend local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 MERGANSER CLOSE of £285,000 on 10th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £351,582 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 MERGANSER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
