BIRCHBROOK VILLA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHBROOK VILLA sales between August 1999 and October 2009 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 February 2007 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it falls to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.

What might BIRCHBROOK VILLA be worth now?

BIRCHBROOK VILLA might now be worth an estimated £292,309.

This is based on house price inflation of 67%, between October 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCHBROOK VILLA of £174,995 on 26th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £174,995 to £292,309 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCHBROOK VILLA has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £174,995 represented a fair market value for the property.
