BANCROFT 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 BANCROFT sales from March 2008 and September 2022 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 March 2008 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.
