ORCHARD HOUSE 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 ORCHARD HOUSE sales between September 1997 and February 2015 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 192% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 192% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 152% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 152% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD HOUSE be worth now?

ORCHARD HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £594,684.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between February 2015 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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD HOUSE of £400,000 on 20th February 2015. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £594,684 over the ten years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The February 2015 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ORCHARD HOUSE has not materially changed since February 2015.
