BENVUELA 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 four BENVUELA sales between February 1995 and November 2018 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 2012 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might BENVUELA be worth now?

BENVUELA might now be worth an estimated £210,049.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.3%, between November 2018 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 27.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BENVUELA of £165,000 on 2nd November 2018. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £210,049 over the five years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BENVUELA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The November 2018 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BENVUELA has not materially changed since November 2018.
