MERLEWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bradford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERLEWOOD sales between February 1996 and March 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 March 2016 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.

What might MERLEWOOD be worth now?

MERLEWOOD might now be worth an estimated £555,287.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.1%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bradford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERLEWOOD of £375,000 on 22nd March 2016. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £555,287 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERLEWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bradford local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERLEWOOD has not materially changed since March 2016.
