96 MERTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Breckland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 96 MERTON ROAD sales between June 1997 and June 2016 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 January 2000 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 96 MERTON ROAD be worth now?

96 MERTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £389,242.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.6%, between June 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Breckland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 96 MERTON ROAD of £285,000 on 1st June 2016. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £389,242 over the nine years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 96 MERTON ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Breckland local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 96 MERTON ROAD has not materially changed since June 2016.
