1 MERLAY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Newcastle upon Tyne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 MERLAY DRIVE sales between May 1995 and October 2014 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 March 2005 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 1 MERLAY DRIVE be worth now?

1 MERLAY DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £361,465.

This is based on house price inflation of 53.8%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Newcastle upon Tyne local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 53.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MERLAY DRIVE of £235,000 on 31st October 2014. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £361,465 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MERLAY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Newcastle upon Tyne local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 MERLAY DRIVE has not materially changed since October 2014.
