SHIRALEE 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 SHIRALEE sales from July 2002 and May 2007 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 July 2002 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might SHIRALEE be worth now?

SHIRALEE might now be worth an estimated £144,198.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.5%, between May 2007 and December 2024, 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 26.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SHIRALEE of £114,000 on 25th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £114,000 to £144,198 over the sixteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SHIRALEE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The May 2007 sale price of £114,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SHIRALEE has not materially changed since May 2007.
