15 FORGE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 FORGE WAY sales from July 2001 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 July 2001 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 15 FORGE WAY be worth now?

15 FORGE WAY might now be worth an estimated £267,981.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.3%, between October 2019 and December 2024, for semi-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 43.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 FORGE WAY of £187,000 on 16th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £187,000 to £267,981 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The October 2019 sale price of £187,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
