16 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 MERTON CLOSE sales between May 2002 and June 2021 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 December 2008 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 16 MERTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.2%, between June 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Harborough local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 MERTON CLOSE of £283,000 on 18th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £283,000 to £340,071 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
