MERCHISTOUN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERCHISTOUN sales from February 1998 and July 2015 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 February 1998 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might MERCHISTOUN be worth now?

MERCHISTOUN might now be worth an estimated £1,476,258.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.2%, between July 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERCHISTOUN of £1,100,000 on 17th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £1,100,000 to £1,476,258 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERCHISTOUN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £1,100,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERCHISTOUN has not materially changed since July 2015.
