17 RECTORY LANE 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 17 RECTORY LANE sales between November 1999 and October 2016 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 2007 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 17 RECTORY LANE be worth now?

17 RECTORY LANE might now be worth an estimated £219,600.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.4%, between October 2016 and August 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 39.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 RECTORY LANE of £157,500 on 25th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £157,500 to £219,600 over the nine years and two months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 RECTORY LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £157,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
