31 LANGTON LEA 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 31 LANGTON LEA sales from October 1997 and October 2001 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 October 1997 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the October 2001 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.

What might 31 LANGTON LEA be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 164%, between October 2001 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 164% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 LANGTON LEA of £140,000 on 5th October 2001. For the value to have increased from £140,000 to £369,575 over the 24 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
