HILLCREST 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 HILLCREST sales from February 2014 and October 2020 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 2014 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might HILLCREST be worth now?

HILLCREST might now be worth an estimated £219,858.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.5%, between October 2020 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 27.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLCREST of £172,500 on 16th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £219,858 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLCREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £172,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLCREST has not materially changed since October 2020.
