ROCK VILLA COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ROCK VILLA COTTAGE sales from May 2005 and January 2010 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 May 2005 sale was for 154% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 154% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it rises to 182% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 182% above the HPI.

What might ROCK VILLA COTTAGE be worth now?

ROCK VILLA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £383,302.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.1%, between January 2010 and February 2025, for semi-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 33.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROCK VILLA COTTAGE of £288,000 on 28th January 2010. For the value to have increased from £288,000 to £383,302 over the fourteen years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROCK VILLA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The January 2010 sale price of £288,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROCK VILLA COTTAGE has not materially changed since January 2010.
