72 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Hartlepool local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 72 MERLIN WAY sales from April 2015 and September 2019 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 April 2015 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 72 MERLIN WAY be worth now?

72 MERLIN WAY might now be worth an estimated £119,545.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.8%, between September 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Hartlepool local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 MERLIN WAY of £90,000 on 17th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £90,000 to £119,545 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The September 2019 sale price of £90,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
