LAURISTON 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 LAURISTON sales from October 1995 and May 1997 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 October 1995 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the May 1997 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might LAURISTON be worth now?

LAURISTON might now be worth an estimated £246,616.

This is based on house price inflation of 266.7%, between May 1997 and July 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 266.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LAURISTON of £67,250 on 2nd May 1997. For the value to have increased from £67,250 to £246,616 over the 28 years and ten months to July 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LAURISTON has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
• The May 1997 sale price of £67,250 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LAURISTON has not materially changed since May 1997.
