18 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rushmoor local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 MERLIN WAY sales between June 2001 and May 2013 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 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 18 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

18 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £486,501.

This is based on house price inflation of 68.3%, between May 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Rushmoor local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 MERLIN WAY of £289,000 on 20th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £289,000 to £486,501 over the ten years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 MERLIN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rushmoor local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £289,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 MERLIN WAY has not materially changed since May 2013.
