WILLOW COTTAGE 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 four WILLOW COTTAGE sales between May 1998 and May 2013 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 January 2008 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 135% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 135% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

WILLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £552,058.

This is based on house price inflation of 45.3%, between May 2013 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 45.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WILLOW COTTAGE of £380,000 on 31st May 2013. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £552,058 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WILLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WILLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2013.
