3 BLACKCAP CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 BLACKCAP CLOSE sales between March 1995 and December 2024 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 May 2003 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 3 BLACKCAP CLOSE be worth now?

3 BLACKCAP CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £212,617.

This is based on house price inflation of 8.5%, between December 2024 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Sunderland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 8.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BLACKCAP CLOSE of £196,000 on 16th December 2024. For the value to have increased from £196,000 to £212,617 over the two years and seven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 BLACKCAP CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sunderland local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £196,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
