17 BOWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 BOWATER CLOSE sales from June 2014 and January 2017 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 June 2014 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 17 BOWATER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 37%, between January 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Sunderland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 37% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 BOWATER CLOSE of £155,000 on 6th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £155,000 to £212,291 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
