26 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 MERLIN DRIVE sales between September 1996 and July 2014 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 2004 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.

What might 26 MERLIN DRIVE be worth now?

26 MERLIN DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £430,111.

This is based on house price inflation of 55.3%, between July 2014 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 55.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MERLIN DRIVE of £277,000 on 24th July 2014. For the value to have increased from £277,000 to £430,111 over the eleven years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 MERLIN DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area.
• The July 2014 sale price of £277,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
