MERRYFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRYFIELD sales between October 1996 and October 2010 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 June 2003 sale was for 246% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 246% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 226% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 226% above the HPI.

What might MERRYFIELD be worth now?

MERRYFIELD might now be worth an estimated £1,500,872.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.5%, between October 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYFIELD of £935,000 on 12th October 2010. For the value to have increased from £935,000 to £1,500,872 over the fifteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYFIELD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The October 2010 sale price of £935,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYFIELD has not materially changed since October 2010.
