MERRYDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Monmouthshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYDOWN sales from April 1996 and October 2016 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 1996 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might MERRYDOWN be worth now?

MERRYDOWN might now be worth an estimated £358,333.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between October 2016 and July 2025, for detached houses, in the Monmouthshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYDOWN of £241,000 on 25th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £241,000 to £358,333 over the nine years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYDOWN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Monmouthshire local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £241,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYDOWN has not materially changed since October 2016.
