22 MERLAY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stockton-on-Tees local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 MERLAY CLOSE sales from February 2008 and February 2016 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 February 2008 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 22 MERLAY CLOSE be worth now?

22 MERLAY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £245,833.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.4%, between February 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Stockton-on-Tees local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 MERLAY CLOSE of £188,500 on 11th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £188,500 to £245,833 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
