7A DORKING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7A DORKING CLOSE sales from July 1998 and August 2001 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 July 1998 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 7A DORKING CLOSE be worth now?

7A DORKING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £290,244.

This is based on house price inflation of 205.5%, between August 2001 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 205.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7A DORKING CLOSE of £95,000 on 21st August 2001. For the value to have increased from £95,000 to £290,244 over the 24 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
