3 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cardiff local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 MERLIN CLOSE sales from June 2018 and September 2024 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 June 2018 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 3 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

3 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £397,125.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between September 2024 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Cardiff local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MERLIN CLOSE of £390,000 on 26th September 2024. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £397,125 over the one year and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cardiff local authority area.
• The September 2024 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 MERLIN CLOSE has not materially changed since September 2024.
