2 DICKENS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 DICKENS ROAD sales from October 2014 and August 2020 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 2014 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 129% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 129% above the HPI.

What might 2 DICKENS ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 35.6%, between August 2020 and February 2025, for semi-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 35.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 DICKENS ROAD of £230,000 on 20th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £311,781 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
