40 THE MEADOWS 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 40 THE MEADOWS sales between July 2000 and October 2005 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 2002 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 40 THE MEADOWS be worth now?

40 THE MEADOWS might now be worth an estimated £235,002.

This is based on house price inflation of 32%, between October 2005 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 32% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THE MEADOWS of £178,000 on 21st October 2005. For the value to have increased from £178,000 to £235,002 over the twenty years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 40 THE MEADOWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £178,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
