46 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 two 46 THE MEADOWS sales from April 1996 and July 1998 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 April 1996 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the July 1998 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 46 THE MEADOWS be worth now?

46 THE MEADOWS might now be worth an estimated £215,948.

This is based on house price inflation of 217.6%, between July 1998 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 217.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 46 THE MEADOWS of £68,000 on 24th July 1998. For the value to have increased from £68,000 to £215,948 over the 27 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 46 THE MEADOWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 1998 sale price of £68,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
