29 MERRYBENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 29 MERRYBENT sales from October 2012 and August 2015 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 October 2012 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 78% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% above the HPI.

What might 29 MERRYBENT be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 33.7%, between August 2015 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 33.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 MERRYBENT of £369,000 on 7th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £369,000 to £493,482 over the eleven years and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 MERRYBENT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £369,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
