40 GROVE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 GROVE ROAD sales from February 2004 and June 2005 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 2004 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.

What might 40 GROVE ROAD be worth now?

40 GROVE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £307,422.

This is based on house price inflation of 81.9%, between June 2005 and February 2025, for semi-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 81.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 GROVE ROAD of £169,000 on 17th June 2005. For the value to have increased from £169,000 to £307,422 over the twenty years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 GROVE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
• The June 2005 sale price of £169,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
