2 MERLEWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERLEWOOD CLOSE sales from July 2005 and November 2012 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 2005 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might 2 MERLEWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.5%, between November 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 71.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERLEWOOD CLOSE of £490,000 on 27th November 2012. For the value to have increased from £490,000 to £840,128 over the thirteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
