FOREST VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOREST VIEW sales from May 2018 and November 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 May 2018 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might FOREST VIEW be worth now?

FOREST VIEW might now be worth an estimated £511,901.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.3%, between November 2020 and December 2024, for 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 31.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOREST VIEW of £390,000 on 27th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £511,901 over the three years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOREST VIEW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOREST VIEW has not materially changed since November 2020.
