MERRICOMBE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MERRICOMBE sales between May 1998 and March 2023 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 2006 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might MERRICOMBE be worth now?

MERRICOMBE might now be worth an estimated £366,970.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.1%, between March 2023 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Isle of Wight local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2.1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRICOMBE of £375,000 on 16th March 2023. For the value to have decreased from £375,000 to £366,970 over the two years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRICOMBE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Isle of Wight local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRICOMBE has not materially changed since March 2023.
