PROSPECT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PROSPECT COTTAGE sales from April 2019 and October 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 April 2019 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 138% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 138% above the HPI.

What might PROSPECT COTTAGE be worth now?

PROSPECT COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £667,031.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.7%, between October 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PROSPECT COTTAGE of £625,000 on 12th October 2022. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £667,031 over the one year and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PROSPECT COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The October 2022 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PROSPECT COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2022.
