1D 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 two 1D MERTON ROAD sales from December 2020 and May 2023 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 2020 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.

What might 1D MERTON ROAD be worth now?
