FERNLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Carmarthenshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FERNLEA sales between December 2009 and February 2016 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 2012 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might FERNLEA be worth now?

FERNLEA might now be worth an estimated £237,895.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.2%, between February 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Carmarthenshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 65.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FERNLEA of £144,000 on 26th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £144,000 to £237,895 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FERNLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Carmarthenshire local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £144,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FERNLEA has not materially changed since February 2016.
