LOCKS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LOCKS COTTAGE sales from July 2004 and December 2010 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 July 2004 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might LOCKS COTTAGE be worth now?

LOCKS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £694,563.

This is based on house price inflation of 92.9%, between December 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bridgend local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 92.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LOCKS COTTAGE of £360,000 on 16th December 2010. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £694,563 over the fifteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LOCKS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The December 2010 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LOCKS COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2010.
