19 MERGANSER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 19 MERGANSER DRIVE sales from July 1999 and October 2009 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 1999 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 19 MERGANSER DRIVE be worth now?

19 MERGANSER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £287,000.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.3%, between October 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 MERGANSER DRIVE of £161,000 on 26th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £161,000 to £287,000 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 19 MERGANSER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £161,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
