3 RECTORY 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 3 RECTORY CLOSE sales between May 1995 and March 2002 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 February 1999 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the March 2002 sale, where it rises to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.

What might 3 RECTORY CLOSE be worth now?

3 RECTORY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £166,540.

This is based on house price inflation of 254.3%, between March 2002 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 254.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 RECTORY CLOSE of £47,000 on 12th March 2002. For the value to have increased from £47,000 to £166,540 over the 21 years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 RECTORY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The March 2002 sale price of £47,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 RECTORY CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2002.
