MERRYMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYMEAD sales from November 2014 and May 2020 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 November 2014 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might MERRYMEAD be worth now?

MERRYMEAD might now be worth an estimated £719,286.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between May 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYMEAD of £625,000 on 12th May 2020. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £719,286 over the three years and five 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 Basingstoke and Deane local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYMEAD has not materially changed since May 2020.
