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 THORNLEY CLOSE sales from June 1996 and February 2004 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 June 1996 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.
40 THORNLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £257,818.
This is based on house price inflation of 88.2%, between February 2004 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 88.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 THORNLEY CLOSE of £137,000 on 2nd February 2004. For the value to have increased from £137,000 to £257,818 over the 21 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
