119 MERGANSER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 119 MERGANSER DRIVE sales between July 1996 and February 2009 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 August 2002 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the February 2009 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 119 MERGANSER DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 96.5%, between February 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 96.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 119 MERGANSER DRIVE of £152,500 on 23rd February 2009. For the value to have increased from £152,500 to £299,613 over the sixteen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
