15 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 15 MERLIN WAY sales between September 1997 and May 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 June 2007 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 15 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

15 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £261,250.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.3%, between May 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 MERLIN WAY of £162,000 on 23rd May 2014. For the value to have increased from £162,000 to £261,250 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 15 MERLIN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £162,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 15 MERLIN WAY has not materially changed since May 2014.
