THORNYCROFT 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 three THORNYCROFT sales between October 2000 and May 2016 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 April 2006 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might THORNYCROFT be worth now?

THORNYCROFT might now be worth an estimated £426,091.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.8%, between May 2016 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 55.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THORNYCROFT of £273,500 on 27th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £273,500 to £426,091 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THORNYCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £273,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THORNYCROFT has not materially changed since May 2016.
