HEATHER LEA 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 HEATHER LEA sales between May 1995 and July 2019 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 December 2006 sale was for 134% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 134% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 199% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 199% above the HPI.

What might HEATHER LEA be worth now?

HEATHER LEA might now be worth an estimated £700,995.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.2%, between July 2019 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 35.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HEATHER LEA of £518,300 on 5th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £518,300 to £700,995 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HEATHER LEA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £518,300 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HEATHER LEA has not materially changed since July 2019.
