THE HAVEN 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 HAVEN sales from August 2003 and December 2020 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 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might THE HAVEN be worth now?

THE HAVEN might now be worth an estimated £207,376.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.7%, between December 2020 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 25.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE HAVEN of £165,000 on 4th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £207,376 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE HAVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE HAVEN has not materially changed since December 2020.
