21 WHITBY CLOSE 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 four 21 WHITBY CLOSE sales between May 1996 and June 2005 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 May 2002 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 21 WHITBY CLOSE be worth now?

21 WHITBY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £129,838.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.7%, between June 2005 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 36.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 WHITBY CLOSE of £95,000 on 17th June 2005. For the value to have increased from £95,000 to £129,838 over the twenty years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 WHITBY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The June 2005 sale price of £95,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
