180 MERLIN CRESCENT 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 two 180 MERLIN CRESCENT sales from July 2012 and December 2015 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 2012 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 180 MERLIN CRESCENT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 72.6%, between December 2015 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 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 180 MERLIN CRESCENT of £135,000 on 18th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £232,958 over the nine years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
