6 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 MERLIN CLOSE sales from March 2018 and April 2018 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 2018 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 6 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34.2%, between April 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Walsall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 MERLIN CLOSE of £262,500 on 20th April 2018. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £352,194 over the five years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
