OLD SCHOOL HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales from August 1997 and October 2012 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 August 1997 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might OLD SCHOOL HOUSE be worth now?

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £472,608.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.7%, between October 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 47.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD SCHOOL HOUSE of £320,000 on 17th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £472,608 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD SCHOOL HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Northumberland local authority area.
