3 DORKING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 DORKING CLOSE sales from July 2022 and January 2024 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 July 2022 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 3 DORKING CLOSE be worth now?
