THE CEDARS Sold Prices

Date	Price	HPI Price	Variation from HPI
2001 24 AUG	£71,500	£86,914	18% below HPI

THE CEDARS 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 CEDARS sales from July 1998 and August 2001 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 1998 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might THE CEDARS be worth now?

THE CEDARS might now be worth an estimated £194,281.

This is based on house price inflation of 171.7%, between August 2001 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 171.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE CEDARS of £71,500 on 24th August 2001. For the value to have increased from £71,500 to £194,281 over the 24 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE CEDARS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The August 2001 sale price of £71,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE CEDARS has not materially changed since August 2001.
