THE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from August 2003 and February 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 August 2003 sale was for 154% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 154% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 108% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 108% above the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £491,285.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.4%, between February 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 43.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £342,500 on 26th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £342,500 to £491,285 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £342,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2016.
