5 WILLOW 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 two 5 WILLOW CLOSE sales from November 2015 and October 2020 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 2015 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 5 WILLOW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 31.8%, between October 2020 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 31.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WILLOW CLOSE of £240,000 on 30th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £316,244 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
