MERTON LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MERTON LODGE sales between July 1996 and December 2018 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 2015 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might MERTON LODGE be worth now?

MERTON LODGE might now be worth an estimated £687,460.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wealden local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERTON LODGE of £583,083 on 5th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £583,083 to £687,460 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERTON LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wealden local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £583,083 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERTON LODGE has not materially changed since December 2018.
