POPLAR 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 two POPLAR COTTAGE sales from August 2015 and June 2021 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 2015 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.

What might POPLAR COTTAGE be worth now?

POPLAR COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £385,099.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between June 2021 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POPLAR COTTAGE of £325,000 on 25th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £385,099 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POPLAR COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POPLAR COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2021.
