THE BARN 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 THE BARN sales from July 1999 and July 2003 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 1999 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might THE BARN be worth now?

THE BARN might now be worth an estimated £268,052.

This is based on house price inflation of 98.6%, between July 2003 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 98.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BARN of £135,000 on 28th July 2003. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £268,052 over the twenty years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 2003 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BARN has not materially changed since July 2003.
