2 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 DOWNS CLOSE sales between October 1999 and September 2020 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 January 2006 sale was for 62% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it rises to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might 2 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26.6%, between September 2020 and February 2025, for 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 26.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 DOWNS CLOSE of £117,000 on 11th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £117,000 to £148,095 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
