THE LINKS 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 LINKS sales from December 1995 and June 2017 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 December 1995 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.

What might THE LINKS be worth now?

THE LINKS might now be worth an estimated £559,875.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.4%, between June 2017 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 45.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LINKS of £385,000 on 30th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £559,875 over the eight years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LINKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The June 2017 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LINKS has not materially changed since June 2017.
