BURN COTTAGE 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 five BURN COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and December 2020 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 September 2015 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 141% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 141% above the HPI.

What might BURN COTTAGE be worth now?

BURN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £570,867.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.9%, between December 2020 and March 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 26.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BURN COTTAGE of £450,000 on 3rd December 2020. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £570,867 over the five years and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BURN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BURN COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2020.
