CORNICE 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 CORNICE sales from May 2003 and March 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 May 2003 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might CORNICE be worth now?

CORNICE might now be worth an estimated £262,532.

This is based on house price inflation of 3%, between March 2025 and April 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 3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CORNICE of £255,000 on 13th March 2025. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £262,532 over the eleven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CORNICE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The March 2025 sale price of £255,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CORNICE has not materially changed since March 2025.
