BRINKBURN 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 three BRINKBURN sales between July 1997 and August 2023 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 October 2014 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might BRINKBURN be worth now?

BRINKBURN might now be worth an estimated £279,985.

This is based on house price inflation of 4.1%, between August 2023 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 4.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BRINKBURN of £269,000 on 4th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £269,000 to £279,985 over the eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BRINKBURN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The August 2023 sale price of £269,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BRINKBURN has not materially changed since August 2023.
