MERRYMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYMEAD sales from February 2010 and September 2022 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 February 2010 sale was for 83% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 83% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it rises to 367% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 367% above the HPI.

What might MERRYMEAD be worth now?

MERRYMEAD might now be worth an estimated £3,479,951.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between September 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Bracknell Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYMEAD of £3,450,000 on 30th September 2022. For the value to have increased from £3,450,000 to £3,479,951 over the one year and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bracknell Forest local authority area.
• The September 2022 sale price of £3,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYMEAD has not materially changed since September 2022.
