32 WALDEN 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 32 WALDEN CLOSE sales from September 1997 and December 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 September 1997 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 32 WALDEN CLOSE be worth now?

32 WALDEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £172,260.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.6%, between December 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 43.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 32 WALDEN CLOSE of £120,000 on 15th December 2004. For the value to have increased from £120,000 to £172,260 over the 21 years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 32 WALDEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The December 2004 sale price of £120,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
