4 HIGHFIELDS 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 three 4 HIGHFIELDS sales between August 2007 and November 2020 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 May 2019 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 4 HIGHFIELDS be worth now?

4 HIGHFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £177,610.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.2%, between November 2020 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 28.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 HIGHFIELDS of £138,500 on 6th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £138,500 to £177,610 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 HIGHFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £138,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 HIGHFIELDS has not materially changed since November 2020.
