WEST WINDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WEST WINDS sales from May 2001 and March 2007 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 May 2001 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.

What might WEST WINDS be worth now?

WEST WINDS might now be worth an estimated £528,970.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.8%, between March 2007 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bridgend local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 80.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST WINDS of £292,500 on 9th March 2007. For the value to have increased from £292,500 to £528,970 over the sixteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WEST WINDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bridgend local authority area.
• The March 2007 sale price of £292,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST WINDS has not materially changed since March 2007.
