FOUR WINDS 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 FOUR WINDS sales from May 2000 and May 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 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it rises to 120% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 120% above the HPI.

What might FOUR WINDS be worth now?

FOUR WINDS might now be worth an estimated £515,794.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.3%, between May 2003 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 106.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOUR WINDS of £250,000 on 2nd May 2003. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £515,794 over the twenty years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOUR WINDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The May 2003 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOUR WINDS has not materially changed since May 2003.
