POLICE 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 POLICE HOUSE sales between August 2003 and September 2020 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 October 2009 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might POLICE HOUSE be worth now?

POLICE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £213,985.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between September 2020 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 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POLICE HOUSE of £160,000 on 15th September 2020. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £213,985 over the five years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POLICE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The September 2020 sale price of £160,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POLICE HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2020.
