2 MERTON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERTON AVENUE sales from May 2005 and December 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 May 2005 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 2 MERTON AVENUE be worth now?

2 MERTON AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £451,889.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.3%, between December 2012 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Sevenoaks local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 88.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERTON AVENUE of £240,000 on 17th December 2012. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £451,889 over the thirteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 MERTON AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Sevenoaks local authority area.
• The December 2012 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 MERTON AVENUE has not materially changed since December 2012.
