16 MERCER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Crawley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 MERCER CLOSE sales between June 2002 and March 2020 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 September 2005 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 16 MERCER CLOSE be worth now?
