2 LINKS DRIVE 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 2 LINKS DRIVE sales from March 1998 and May 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 March 1998 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might 2 LINKS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 43.9%, between May 2015 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).
