GARDENERS 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 two GARDENERS COTTAGE sales from February 1998 and January 2021 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 February 1998 sale was for 284% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 284% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.

What might GARDENERS COTTAGE be worth now?

GARDENERS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £499,089.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between January 2021 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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GARDENERS COTTAGE of £400,000 on 18th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £499,089 over the three years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GARDENERS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of GARDENERS COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2021.
