2 OSPREY 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 two 2 OSPREY CLOSE sales from August 2004 and October 2011 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 August 2004 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 2 OSPREY CLOSE be worth now?

2 OSPREY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £250,030.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.4%, between October 2011 and December 2024, 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 62.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 OSPREY CLOSE of £154,000 on 19th October 2011. For the value to have increased from £154,000 to £250,030 over the twelve years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
