5 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MERLIN CLOSE sales from October 2001 and July 2013 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 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 5 MERLIN CLOSE be worth now?

5 MERLIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £284,265.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.9%, between July 2013 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Wakefield local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MERLIN CLOSE of £162,500 on 11th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £284,265 over the twelve years and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MERLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wakefield local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £162,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 MERLIN CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2013.
