9 MERCURY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 MERCURY CLOSE sales from March 2006 and October 2006 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 March 2006 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 9 MERCURY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 70.1%, between October 2006 and July 2025, for terraced houses, in the Southampton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 70.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 MERCURY CLOSE of £142,500 on 20th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £142,500 to £242,382 over the nineteen years and three months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
