40 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hartlepool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 MERLIN WAY sales from December 2014 and August 2023 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 December 2014 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 40 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

40 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £156,673.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.2%, between August 2023 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Hartlepool local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 9.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 MERLIN WAY of £143,500 on 18th August 2023. For the value to have increased from £143,500 to £156,673 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
