5 MERSHAM GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MERSHAM GARDENS sales from January 1996 and September 2000 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 January 1996 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the September 2000 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 5 MERSHAM GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 186%, between September 2000 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Southampton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 186% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MERSHAM GARDENS of £137,000 on 29th September 2000. For the value to have increased from £137,000 to £391,763 over the 25 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
