5 THE MEERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE MEERS sales between August 1997 and August 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 October 2006 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, which was also at 22% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE MEERS be worth now?

5 THE MEERS might now be worth an estimated £293,943.

This is based on house price inflation of 72.9%, between August 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Tendring local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE MEERS of £170,000 on 12th August 2013. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £293,943 over the twelve years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE MEERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Tendring local authority area.
• The August 2013 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE MEERS has not materially changed since August 2013.
