THE SHIELING 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 SHIELING sales from October 2017 and February 2021 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 October 2017 sale was for 130% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 130% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 126% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 126% above the HPI.

What might THE SHIELING be worth now?

THE SHIELING might now be worth an estimated £534,246.

This is based on house price inflation of 24.2%, between February 2021 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 24.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SHIELING of £430,000 on 24th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £534,246 over the four years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SHIELING has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The February 2021 sale price of £430,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SHIELING has not materially changed since February 2021.
