3 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the City of Bristol local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MERLIN CLOSE sales between August 1996 and July 2011 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 March 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 3 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

3 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £556,083.

This is based on house price inflation of 113.9%, between July 2011 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the City of Bristol local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 113.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MERLIN CLOSE of £260,000 on 27th July 2011. For the value to have increased from £260,000 to £556,083 over the fourteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
