AVALON 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 AVALON sales from July 1998 and March 1999 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 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the March 1999 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might AVALON be worth now?

AVALON might now be worth an estimated £129,046.

This is based on house price inflation of 222.6%, between March 1999 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 222.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for AVALON of £40,000 on 25th March 1999. For the value to have increased from £40,000 to £129,046 over the 26 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of AVALON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The March 1999 sale price of £40,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of AVALON has not materially changed since March 1999.
