THE GROVE 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 three THE GROVE sales between January 1996 and January 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 April 1999 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the January 2001 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might THE GROVE be worth now?

THE GROVE might now be worth an estimated £185,774.

This is based on house price inflation of 185.8%, between January 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 185.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE GROVE of £65,000 on 26th January 2001. For the value to have increased from £65,000 to £185,774 over the 23 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The January 2001 sale price of £65,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE GROVE has not materially changed since January 2001.
