40 LOWTHER DRIVE 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 four 40 LOWTHER DRIVE sales between April 2013 and November 2019 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 March 2018 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.

What might 40 LOWTHER DRIVE be worth now?
