HIGHBAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHBAY sales from October 2014 and November 2022 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 2014 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might HIGHBAY be worth now?

HIGHBAY might now be worth an estimated £287,332.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.8%, between November 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Swansea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHBAY of £285,000 on 28th November 2022. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £287,332 over the one year and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHBAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The November 2022 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHBAY has not materially changed since November 2022.
