IVY 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 five IVY COTTAGE sales between August 2000 and December 2022 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 July 2018 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 65% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% below the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £83,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.9%, between December 2022 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 5.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £78,525 on 19th December 2022. For the value to have increased from £78,525 to £83,139 over the three years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The December 2022 sale price of £78,525 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2022.
