7 BESSANT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 BESSANT CLOSE sales from August 1998 and September 2012 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 August 1998 sale was for 119% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 119% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might 7 BESSANT CLOSE be worth now?

7 BESSANT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £602,075.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.6%, between September 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 69.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 BESSANT CLOSE of £355,000 on 4th September 2012. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £602,075 over the thirteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
