MERROWDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERROWDOWN sales from April 2006 and April 2014 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 April 2006 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

What might MERROWDOWN be worth now?

MERROWDOWN might now be worth an estimated £1,651,746.

This is based on house price inflation of 66%, between April 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERROWDOWN of £995,000 on 11th April 2014. For the value to have increased from £995,000 to £1,651,746 over the eleven years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERROWDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
• The April 2014 sale price of £995,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERROWDOWN has not materially changed since April 2014.
