4 BIRCHMERE 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 three 4 BIRCHMERE sales between November 2000 and August 2009 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 January 2009 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 4 BIRCHMERE be worth now?

4 BIRCHMERE might now be worth an estimated £135,676.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.7%, between August 2009 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 35.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BIRCHMERE of £100,000 on 7th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £100,000 to £135,676 over the fourteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BIRCHMERE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 BIRCHMERE has not materially changed since August 2009.
