The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 24 MERTON CLOSE sales between March 1999 and February 2002 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 April 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the February 2002 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.

What might 24 MERTON CLOSE be worth now?
