ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales from December 1996 and April 2016 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 December 1996 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might ROSE COTTAGE be worth now?

ROSE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £376,630.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.8%, between April 2016 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 43.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROSE COTTAGE of £262,000 on 29th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £262,000 to £376,630 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROSE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £262,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROSE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2016.
