51 BRIGHTLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 51 BRIGHTLEA sales between June 1996 and August 2008 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 January 2003 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2008 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 51 BRIGHTLEA be worth now?

51 BRIGHTLEA might now be worth an estimated £216,592.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between August 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Gateshead local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 51 BRIGHTLEA of £170,000 on 18th August 2008. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £216,592 over the seventeen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 51 BRIGHTLEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Gateshead local authority area.
• The August 2008 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 51 BRIGHTLEA has not materially changed since August 2008.
