15 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stockport local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 MERLIN CLOSE sales from July 2002 and March 2012 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 2002 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 15 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 92.5%, between March 2012 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Stockport local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 92.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 MERLIN CLOSE of £235,500 on 7th March 2012. For the value to have increased from £235,500 to £453,272 over the eleven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
