1 HEVER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 HEVER CLOSE sales from August 1997 and July 2004 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 August 1997 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might 1 HEVER CLOSE be worth now?

1 HEVER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £201,700.

This is based on house price inflation of 54%, between July 2004 and June 2025, for semi-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 54% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HEVER CLOSE of £131,000 on 21st July 2004. For the value to have increased from £131,000 to £201,700 over the 21 years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 HEVER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £131,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 HEVER CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2004.
