THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from January 2007 and October 2014 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 January 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £368,556.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.1%, between October 2014 and February 2025, 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 63.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £226,000 on 13th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £226,000 to £368,556 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £226,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2014.
