7 MERCIA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 MERCIA DRIVE sales between May 1996 and May 2017 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 2001 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 7 MERCIA DRIVE be worth now?

7 MERCIA DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £267,158.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.3%, between May 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 MERCIA DRIVE of £199,000 on 12th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £199,000 to £267,158 over the eight years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 MERCIA DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Kesteven local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £199,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
