43 MERRYTHORN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 43 MERRYTHORN ROAD sales between October 1995 and November 2005 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 1998 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 43 MERRYTHORN ROAD be worth now?

43 MERRYTHORN ROAD might now be worth an estimated £259,604.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.3%, between November 2005 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the North Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 64.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 43 MERRYTHORN ROAD of £158,000 on 22nd November 2005. For the value to have increased from £158,000 to £259,604 over the eighteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The November 2005 sale price of £158,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
