MERLINS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERLINS sales from September 1999 and December 2018 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 September 1999 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might MERLINS be worth now?

MERLINS might now be worth an estimated £426,018.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.3%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Rother local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERLINS of £340,000 on 18th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £426,018 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERLINS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £340,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERLINS has not materially changed since December 2018.
