RAINTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RAINTON COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and December 2006 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 1997 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might RAINTON COTTAGE be worth now?

RAINTON COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £286,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.3%, between December 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Sunderland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for RAINTON COTTAGE of £220,000 on 21st December 2006. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £286,690 over the nineteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of RAINTON COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The December 2006 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of RAINTON COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2006.
