LONGCROFT COTTAGE 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 four LONGCROFT COTTAGE sales between June 1998 and February 2016 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 March 2009 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.

What might LONGCROFT COTTAGE be worth now?

LONGCROFT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £511,502.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.4%, between February 2016 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 50.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LONGCROFT COTTAGE of £340,000 on 12th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £511,502 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LONGCROFT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LONGCROFT COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2016.
