59 BALMER HILL 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 59 BALMER HILL sales from May 2003 and April 2004 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 May 2003 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 59 BALMER HILL be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 75.4%, between April 2004 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 75.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 59 BALMER HILL of £183,500 on 23rd April 2004. For the value to have increased from £183,500 to £321,907 over the 21 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
