CUTHBERT 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 three CUTHBERT COTTAGE sales between December 1997 and November 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 November 2012 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might CUTHBERT COTTAGE be worth now?

CUTHBERT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £347,560.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.6%, between November 2023 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 8.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CUTHBERT COTTAGE of £320,000 on 24th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £347,560 over the eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
