5 ALWENT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 ALWENT CLOSE sales between May 1997 and January 2016 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 October 2005 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might 5 ALWENT CLOSE be worth now?

5 ALWENT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £480,962.

This is based on house price inflation of 34%, between January 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ALWENT CLOSE of £359,000 on 29th January 2016. For the value to have increased from £359,000 to £480,962 over the seven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ALWENT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The January 2016 sale price of £359,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 ALWENT CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2016.
