HIGH POINT 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 HIGH POINT sales between January 2002 and May 2011 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 January 2007 sale was for 214% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 214% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 275% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 275% above the HPI.

What might HIGH POINT be worth now?

HIGH POINT might now be worth an estimated £880,699.

This is based on house price inflation of 37.6%, between May 2011 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 37.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH POINT of £640,000 on 11th May 2011. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £880,699 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH POINT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The May 2011 sale price of £640,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH POINT has not materially changed since May 2011.
