4 MERRIVALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 MERRIVALE CLOSE sales from April 1996 and December 2013 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 1996 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 4 MERRIVALE CLOSE be worth now?

4 MERRIVALE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £516,344.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.1%, between December 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 MERRIVALE CLOSE of £335,000 on 9th December 2013. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £516,344 over the twelve years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 MERRIVALE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The December 2013 sale price of £335,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
