MAES Y WERN 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 two MAES Y WERN sales from December 2009 and November 2015 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 December 2009 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might MAES Y WERN be worth now?

MAES Y WERN might now be worth an estimated £213,737.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.4%, between November 2015 and December 2024, 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 64.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAES Y WERN of £130,000 on 6th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £213,737 over the eight years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAES Y WERN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Neath Port Talbot local authority area.
• The November 2015 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MAES Y WERN has not materially changed since November 2015.
