5 GUEST COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GUEST COTTAGES sales from November 1998 and September 2019 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 November 1998 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 5 GUEST COTTAGES be worth now?

5 GUEST COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £115,141.

This is based on house price inflation of 38.7%, between September 2019 and June 2025, for terraced 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 38.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 GUEST COTTAGES of £83,000 on 20th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £83,000 to £115,141 over the six years and three months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 GUEST COTTAGES has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £83,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 GUEST COTTAGES has not materially changed since September 2019.
