3 THE CROFT 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 two 3 THE CROFT sales from April 2016 and August 2022 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 2016 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 3 THE CROFT be worth now?

3 THE CROFT might now be worth an estimated £247,946.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.3%, between August 2022 and December 2024, 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 8.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE CROFT of £229,000 on 26th August 2022. For the value to have increased from £229,000 to £247,946 over the one year and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE CROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £229,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
