137 MERGANSER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 137 MERGANSER DRIVE sales between September 1996 and November 2006 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 2002 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 137 MERGANSER DRIVE be worth now?

137 MERGANSER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £262,453.

This is based on house price inflation of 63%, between November 2006 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 63% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 137 MERGANSER DRIVE of £161,000 on 3rd November 2006. For the value to have increased from £161,000 to £262,453 over the nineteen years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 137 MERGANSER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The November 2006 sale price of £161,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 137 MERGANSER DRIVE has not materially changed since November 2006.
