8 MINSTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 MINSTER CLOSE sales from March 2016 and September 2024 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 2016 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
