31 MERLIN CRESCENT 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 31 MERLIN CRESCENT sales from June 2000 and April 2023 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 June 2000 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 31 MERLIN CRESCENT be worth now?

31 MERLIN CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £241,733.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.9%, between April 2023 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 9.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 MERLIN CRESCENT of £220,000 on 19th April 2023. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £241,733 over the two years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 31 MERLIN CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The April 2023 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 31 MERLIN CRESCENT has not materially changed since April 2023.
