It was last sold for £1,187,500 in November 2012, which was around 185% above the average November 2012 detached price in the West Berkshire local authority area.

Land registry data shows two sales for MERROW since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the West Berkshire local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two MERROW sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2012 28 NOV | £1,187,500 | £415,980 | 185% above HPI |
2002 17 MAY | £575,000 | £281,918 | 104% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERROW sales from May 2002 and November 2012 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 May 2002 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 185% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 185% above the HPI.
