5 CHURSTON 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 three 5 CHURSTON CLOSE sales between August 1999 and March 2005 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 2004 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might 5 CHURSTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 45.4%, between March 2005 and June 2025, 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 45.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CHURSTON CLOSE of £160,000 on 24th March 2005. For the value to have increased from £160,000 to £232,657 over the nineteen years and nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
