THE CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CREST sales from October 2012 and September 2021 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 October 2012 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, which was also at 3% above the HPI.

What might THE CREST be worth now?

THE CREST might now be worth an estimated £530,769.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.4%, between September 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CREST of £460,000 on 21st September 2021. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £530,769 over the four years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area.
• The September 2021 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CREST has not materially changed since September 2021.
