10 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 10 MERTON CLOSE sales between January 1997 and February 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 March 2004 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might 10 MERTON CLOSE be worth now?

10 MERTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £170,663.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.4%, between February 2022 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 3.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 MERTON CLOSE of £165,000 on 21st February 2022. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £170,663 over the two years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 MERTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £165,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 10 MERTON CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2022.
