17 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 17 MERLIN WAY sales between November 1997 and May 2019 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 April 2019 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 17 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

17 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £242,401.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.7%, between May 2019 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 34.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 MERLIN WAY of £180,000 on 3rd May 2019. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £242,401 over the six years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 MERLIN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Newcastle-under-Lyme local authority area.
• The May 2019 sale price of £180,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 MERLIN WAY has not materially changed since May 2019.
