36 ELMCROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 36 ELMCROFT sales between October 2000 and February 2016 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 November 2011 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 36 ELMCROFT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34.7%, between February 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 36 ELMCROFT of £160,000 on 12th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £215,485 over the seven years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 36 ELMCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
