30 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cardiff local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 30 MERLIN CLOSE sales between August 1996 and July 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 February 2022 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 30 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

30 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £354,867.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.6%, between July 2024 and June 2025, for semi-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 3.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 30 MERLIN CLOSE of £342,500 on 26th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £342,500 to £354,867 over the one year and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 30 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cardiff local authority area.
• The July 2024 sale price of £342,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
