27 BIRCHMERE 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 27 BIRCHMERE sales from April 2001 and May 2023 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 April 2001 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 27 BIRCHMERE be worth now?

27 BIRCHMERE might now be worth an estimated £169,708.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.2%, between May 2023 and December 2024, 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 13.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 BIRCHMERE of £149,950 on 26th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £149,950 to £169,708 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The May 2023 sale price of £149,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
