1 MERLIN END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 MERLIN END sales from November 2012 and December 2024 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 November 2012 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 1 MERLIN END be worth now?

1 MERLIN END might now be worth an estimated £406,229.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.9%, between December 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Colchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.9% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MERLIN END of £410,000 on 18th December 2024. For the value to have decreased from £410,000 to £406,229 over the one year and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MERLIN END has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The December 2024 sale price of £410,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 MERLIN END has not materially changed since December 2024.
