5 MIDHILL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 5 MIDHILL CLOSE sales from April 1999 and June 2002 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 1999 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 5 MIDHILL CLOSE be worth now?

The 171.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MIDHILL CLOSE of £42,000 on 10th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £42,000 to £114,000 over the 21 years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
