14 HELMSDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between November 1999 and March 2013 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 October 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 14 HELMSDALE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 43.4%, between March 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 43.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 HELMSDALE CLOSE of £167,500 on 22nd March 2013. For the value to have increased from £167,500 to £240,140 over the ten years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 HELMSDALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The March 2013 sale price of £167,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
