2 MERTON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Charnwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERTON AVENUE sales from April 2008 and July 2020 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 2008 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might 2 MERTON AVENUE be worth now?

2 MERTON AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £401,430.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between July 2020 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Charnwood local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 MERTON AVENUE of £315,000 on 9th July 2020. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £401,430 over the three years and seven months to December 2024, 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 Charnwood local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
