16 MERRIAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 MERRIAM CLOSE sales from October 2009 and February 2025 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 2009 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 16 MERRIAM CLOSE be worth now?

16 MERRIAM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £308,797.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.4%, between February 2025 and May 2026, for detached houses, in the Babergh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 MERRIAM CLOSE of £307,500 on 28th February 2025. For the value to have increased from £307,500 to £308,797 over the nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
