7 MERRYFIELDS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 7 MERRYFIELDS AVENUE sales between March 1995 and November 2020 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 November 2014 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 7 MERRYFIELDS AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 11.9%, between November 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Rochford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 MERRYFIELDS AVENUE of £430,000 on 6th November 2020. For the value to have increased from £430,000 to £480,964 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
