38 MERLIN AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bolsover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 38 MERLIN AVENUE sales between October 2003 and September 2006 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 May 2004 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the September 2006 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 38 MERLIN AVENUE be worth now?

The 72.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 MERLIN AVENUE of £172,500 on 26th September 2006. For the value to have increased from £172,500 to £297,660 over the seventeen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
