3 COUNTESS CLOSE 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 three 3 COUNTESS CLOSE sales between October 1998 and December 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 September 2010 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might 3 COUNTESS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 26.5%, between December 2020 and February 2025, 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).

The 26.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 COUNTESS CLOSE of £420,000 on 4th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £531,428 over the five years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 COUNTESS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
