15 MERESTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hartlepool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 MERESTON CLOSE sales between January 2003 and November 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 July 2004 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 15 MERESTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 32.2%, between November 2009 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Hartlepool local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 MERESTON CLOSE of £178,000 on 17th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £178,000 to £235,339 over the fourteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
