15 LOWTHER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 LOWTHER DRIVE sales between December 2005 and September 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 February 2014 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 15 LOWTHER DRIVE be worth now?

15 LOWTHER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £143,882.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.6%, between September 2015 and December 2024, for semi-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 32.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 LOWTHER DRIVE of £108,500 on 18th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £108,500 to £143,882 over the eight years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 LOWTHER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £108,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
