25 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 25 MERLIN WAY sales from April 2002 and March 2021 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 2002 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 25 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

25 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £533,565.

This is based on house price inflation of 12.3%, between March 2021 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 12.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 25 MERLIN WAY of £475,000 on 31st March 2021. For the value to have increased from £475,000 to £533,565 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The March 2021 sale price of £475,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
