53 HIGHFIELDS 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 53 HIGHFIELDS sales from January 2007 and December 2024 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 2007 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 53 HIGHFIELDS be worth now?

53 HIGHFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £159,503.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.6%, between December 2024 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 1.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 HIGHFIELDS of £157,000 on 9th December 2024. For the value to have increased from £157,000 to £159,503 over the one year and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 53 HIGHFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
