5 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MERTON CLOSE sales from April 2001 and February 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 April 2001 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 5 MERTON CLOSE be worth now?

5 MERTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £244,860.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.2%, between February 2013 and June 2025, for terraced houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MERTON CLOSE of £163,000 on 15th February 2013. For the value to have increased from £163,000 to £244,860 over the eleven years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MERTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The February 2013 sale price of £163,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
