DARWYN 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 DARWYN sales between July 1996 and February 2003 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 2000 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the February 2003 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might DARWYN be worth now?

DARWYN might now be worth an estimated £408,191.

This is based on house price inflation of 120.6%, between February 2003 and February 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 120.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DARWYN of £185,000 on 21st February 2003. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £408,191 over the 22 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DARWYN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The February 2003 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DARWYN has not materially changed since February 2003.
