3 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 five 3 DOWNS CLOSE sales between June 1995 and February 2018 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 2003 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 3 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?

3 DOWNS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £187,230.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.8%, between February 2018 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).

The 49.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 DOWNS CLOSE of £125,000 on 12th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £125,000 to £187,230 over the six years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 DOWNS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Swansea local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £125,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 DOWNS CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2018.
