34 VART ROAD 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 two 34 VART ROAD sales from January 1997 and February 1998 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 January 1997 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the February 1998 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 34 VART ROAD be worth now?

34 VART ROAD might now be worth an estimated £269,598.

This is based on house price inflation of 222.9%, between February 1998 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 222.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 VART ROAD of £83,500 on 20th February 1998. For the value to have increased from £83,500 to £269,598 over the 26 years and six months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 VART ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The February 1998 sale price of £83,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
