34 WEST DRIVE 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 34 WEST DRIVE sales from May 1999 and December 2001 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 May 1999 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the December 2001 sale, where it rises to 229% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 229% above the HPI.

What might 34 WEST DRIVE be worth now?

34 WEST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £1,082,478.

This is based on house price inflation of 279.8%, between December 2001 and February 2025, 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 279.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 WEST DRIVE of £285,000 on 7th December 2001. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £1,082,478 over the 24 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
