The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 242 NEW ROAD sales between April 1999 and September 2018 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 2016 sale was for 125% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 125% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 121% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 121% above the HPI.
242 NEW ROAD might now be worth an estimated £463,697.
This is based on house price inflation of 54.6%, between September 2018 and February 2025, 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 54.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 NEW ROAD of £299,950 on 26th September 2018. For the value to have increased from £299,950 to £463,697 over the seven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
