8 ROOKHOPE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 ROOKHOPE sales from December 2014 and March 2017 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 December 2014 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 8 ROOKHOPE be worth now?

8 ROOKHOPE might now be worth an estimated £291,900.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.8%, between March 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Sunderland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 ROOKHOPE of £214,999 on 17th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £214,999 to £291,900 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 ROOKHOPE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £214,999 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 ROOKHOPE has not materially changed since March 2017.
