48 THE HIGHLANDS 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 two 48 THE HIGHLANDS sales from February 1998 and September 2019 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 1998 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 48 THE HIGHLANDS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.9%, between September 2019 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 38.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 48 THE HIGHLANDS of £259,500 on 30th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £259,500 to £360,473 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
