15 VENABLES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 VENABLES CLOSE sales between August 1995 and April 2004 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 December 1999 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 15 VENABLES CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 110.6%, between April 2004 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Swansea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 110.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 VENABLES CLOSE of £152,950 on 30th April 2004. For the value to have increased from £152,950 to £322,148 over the nineteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
