THE LAURELS 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 LAURELS sales from March 2016 and August 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 March 2016 sale was for 179% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 179% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 293% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 293% above the HPI.

What might THE LAURELS be worth now?

THE LAURELS might now be worth an estimated £922,032.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.6%, between August 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 34.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE LAURELS of £685,000 on 28th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £685,000 to £922,032 over the three years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE LAURELS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The August 2020 sale price of £685,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE LAURELS has not materially changed since August 2020.
