8 MERLIN GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MERLIN GROVE sales between May 2003 and September 2024 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 June 2012 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, which was also at 5% above the HPI.
