WOODLEIGH 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 five WOODLEIGH COTTAGE sales between June 1999 and June 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 July 2005 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, which was also at 25% below the HPI.

What might WOODLEIGH COTTAGE be worth now?

WOODLEIGH COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £177,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.5%, between June 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 18.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WOODLEIGH COTTAGE of £150,000 on 16th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £150,000 to £177,738 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WOODLEIGH COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
