2 THE LINKS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hartlepool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE LINKS sales between November 1996 and December 2002 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 December 1997 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 2 THE LINKS be worth now?

2 THE LINKS might now be worth an estimated £323,976.

This is based on house price inflation of 149.2%, between December 2002 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Hartlepool local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 149.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 THE LINKS of £130,000 on 23rd December 2002. For the value to have increased from £130,000 to £323,976 over the 22 years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 THE LINKS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Hartlepool local authority area.
• The December 2002 sale price of £130,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 THE LINKS has not materially changed since December 2002.
