40 CASTLE DRIVE 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 four 40 CASTLE DRIVE sales between January 1996 and June 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 August 1999 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI.
