1 LIBRARY LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 LIBRARY LANE sales from March 2006 and May 2016 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 March 2006 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 1 LIBRARY LANE be worth now?

1 LIBRARY LANE might now be worth an estimated £203,441.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.8%, between May 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 LIBRARY LANE of £124,950 on 27th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £124,950 to £203,441 over the seven years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 LIBRARY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £124,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 LIBRARY LANE has not materially changed since May 2016.
