MERRYDOWN 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 MERRYDOWN sales from May 2009 and September 2011 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 2009 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.

What might MERRYDOWN be worth now?

MERRYDOWN might now be worth an estimated £792,501.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.1%, between September 2011 and December 2024, 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 76.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYDOWN of £450,000 on 30th September 2011. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £792,501 over the twelve years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Rother local authority area.
• The September 2011 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYDOWN has not materially changed since September 2011.
