MERRYMEET 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 MERRYMEET sales from September 2000 and January 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 September 2000 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.

What might MERRYMEET be worth now?

MERRYMEET might now be worth an estimated £947,633.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.9%, between January 2022 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 5.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRYMEET of £895,000 on 7th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £895,000 to £947,633 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRYMEET has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £895,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRYMEET has not materially changed since January 2022.
