1C MERTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Portsmouth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1C MERTON ROAD sales between June 1999 and July 2014 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 November 2012 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might 1C MERTON ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 60.4%, between July 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Portsmouth local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1C MERTON ROAD of £550,000 on 30th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £550,000 to £882,387 over the eleven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
