37 BIRCH WALK 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 37 BIRCH WALK sales between May 2005 and April 2022 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 March 2018 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 37 BIRCH WALK be worth now?

37 BIRCH WALK might now be worth an estimated £305,069.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between April 2022 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 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 37 BIRCH WALK of £265,000 on 6th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £305,069 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 37 BIRCH WALK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
