TALL TREES 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 TALL TREES sales from January 1996 and July 2019 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 January 1996 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

What might TALL TREES be worth now?

TALL TREES might now be worth an estimated £527,470.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.2%, between July 2019 and December 2024, 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 35.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for TALL TREES of £390,000 on 26th July 2019. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £527,470 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of TALL TREES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of TALL TREES has not materially changed since July 2019.
