81 BENSHAM ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 81 BENSHAM ROAD sales between May 2002 and July 2023 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 February 2014 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 81 BENSHAM ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 9.6%, between July 2023 and March 2025, for semi-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 9.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 81 BENSHAM ROAD of £135,000 on 14th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £147,911 over the two years and four months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 81 BENSHAM ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Darlington local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
