16 BIRCHMERE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 BIRCHMERE sales from August 1996 and August 2016 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 August 1996 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 16 BIRCHMERE be worth now?

16 BIRCHMERE might now be worth an estimated £267,724.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.3%, between August 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the County Durham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 BIRCHMERE of £194,950 on 12th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £194,950 to £267,724 over the seven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The August 2016 sale price of £194,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
