WEST WINDS 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 WEST WINDS sales from January 2010 and January 2011 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 January 2010 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might WEST WINDS be worth now?

WEST WINDS might now be worth an estimated £384,107.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.7%, between January 2011 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 70.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WEST WINDS of £225,000 on 31st January 2011. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £384,107 over the twelve years and one month 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 Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The January 2011 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WEST WINDS has not materially changed since January 2011.
