THE JAYS 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 four THE JAYS sales between April 1995 and January 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 March 2008 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might THE JAYS be worth now?

THE JAYS might now be worth an estimated £144,458.

This is based on house price inflation of 70%, between January 2014 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 70% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE JAYS of £85,000 on 17th January 2014. For the value to have increased from £85,000 to £144,458 over the nine years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE JAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The January 2014 sale price of £85,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE JAYS has not materially changed since January 2014.
