3 THE ORCHARD 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 3 THE ORCHARD sales from March 2004 and December 2006 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 March 2004 sale was for 276% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 276% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it falls to 193% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 193% above the HPI.

What might 3 THE ORCHARD be worth now?

3 THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £397,520.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.3%, between December 2006 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 22.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 THE ORCHARD of £325,000 on 12th December 2006. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £397,520 over the eighteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The December 2006 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since December 2006.
