9 RIPLEY 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 9 RIPLEY CLOSE sales from June 2017 and November 2025 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 June 2017 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the November 2025 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 9 RIPLEY CLOSE be worth now?

9 RIPLEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £129,868.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.1%, between November 2025 and May 2026, 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 1.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 RIPLEY CLOSE of £131,250 on 6th November 2025. For the value to have decreased from £131,250 to £129,868 over the one year and six months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 RIPLEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The November 2025 sale price of £131,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
