40 HIGH RIGGS 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 40 HIGH RIGGS sales from August 2006 and July 2008 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 August 2006 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the July 2008 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 40 HIGH RIGGS be worth now?

40 HIGH RIGGS might now be worth an estimated £176,736.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.6%, between July 2008 and February 2025, 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 18.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 HIGH RIGGS of £149,000 on 10th July 2008. For the value to have increased from £149,000 to £176,736 over the seventeen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 HIGH RIGGS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 2008 sale price of £149,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 40 HIGH RIGGS has not materially changed since July 2008.
