BLAVEN 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 BLAVEN sales from July 1996 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 July 1996 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the November 2025 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might BLAVEN be worth now?

BLAVEN might now be worth an estimated £269,994.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.8%, between November 2025 and May 2026, 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 1.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for BLAVEN of £275,000 on 14th November 2025. For the value to have decreased from £275,000 to £269,994 over the one year and six months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BLAVEN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The November 2025 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BLAVEN has not materially changed since November 2025.
