5 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MARTIN CLOSE sales from June 2018 and October 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 June 2018 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 92% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 92% above the HPI.

What might 5 MARTIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 32.8%, between October 2019 and June 2025, for semi-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 32.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MARTIN CLOSE of £225,000 on 4th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £298,810 over the six years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
