78 THE HIGHLANDS 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 four 78 THE HIGHLANDS sales between July 1999 and December 2012 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 October 2009 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 78 THE HIGHLANDS be worth now?

78 THE HIGHLANDS might now be worth an estimated £155,024.

This is based on house price inflation of 82.4%, between December 2012 and December 2024, 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 82.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 78 THE HIGHLANDS of £85,000 on 19th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £85,000 to £155,024 over the twelve years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 78 THE HIGHLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £85,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
