2 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 three 2 LIBRARY LANE sales between September 1996 and October 2014 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 February 2000 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 2 LIBRARY LANE be worth now?

2 LIBRARY LANE might now be worth an estimated £146,271.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.1%, between October 2014 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 68.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LIBRARY LANE of £87,000 on 21st October 2014. For the value to have increased from £87,000 to £146,271 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 LIBRARY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
