BIRCH LODGE 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 three BIRCH LODGE sales between October 1999 and July 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 2019 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might BIRCH LODGE be worth now?

BIRCH LODGE might now be worth an estimated £344,367.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.5%, between July 2019 and February 2025, 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 43.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRCH LODGE of £240,000 on 16th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £344,367 over the six years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRCH LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRCH LODGE has not materially changed since July 2019.
