159 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 three 159 MERGANSER DRIVE sales between December 1996 and June 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 October 2001 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 159 MERGANSER DRIVE be worth now?

159 MERGANSER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £275,707.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.2%, between June 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 69.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 MERGANSER DRIVE of £162,950 on 29th June 2006. For the value to have increased from £162,950 to £275,707 over the nineteen years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 MERGANSER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The June 2006 sale price of £162,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
