BROOK HOUSE 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 BROOK HOUSE sales from August 2000 and June 2014 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 August 2000 sale was for 153% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 153% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it falls to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.

What might BROOK HOUSE be worth now?

BROOK HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £490,628.

This is based on house price inflation of 44.3%, between June 2014 and December 2024, 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 44.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BROOK HOUSE of £340,000 on 11th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £490,628 over the nine years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BROOK HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BROOK HOUSE has not materially changed since June 2014.
