1 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 DOWNS CLOSE sales between March 2000 and March 2024 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 November 2016 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 1 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 7.8%, between March 2024 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the Swansea local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
