34 MERLEY LANE 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 34 MERLEY LANE sales from September 1996 and January 1998 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 September 1996 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 1998 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 34 MERLEY LANE be worth now?

34 MERLEY LANE might now be worth an estimated £746,349.

This is based on house price inflation of 355.1%, between January 1998 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 355.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 MERLEY LANE of £164,000 on 29th January 1998. For the value to have increased from £164,000 to £746,349 over the 26 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
