WHITBURN HOUSE 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 WHITBURN HOUSE sales from May 1997 and November 2017 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 May 1997 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 153% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 153% above the HPI.

What might WHITBURN HOUSE be worth now?

WHITBURN HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £596,795.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.6%, between November 2017 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 35.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITBURN HOUSE of £440,000 on 21st November 2017. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £596,795 over the eight years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITBURN HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The November 2017 sale price of £440,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITBURN HOUSE has not materially changed since November 2017.
