2 MERCER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 MERCER CLOSE sales between April 2003 and June 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 April 2011 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 2 MERCER CLOSE be worth now?

2 MERCER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £385,832.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.8%, between June 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERCER CLOSE of £239,950 on 27th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £239,950 to £385,832 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 MERCER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £239,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
