95 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 95 MERLIN DRIVE sales from October 2023 and May 2025 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 2023 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the May 2025 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might 95 MERLIN DRIVE be worth now?

95 MERLIN DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £324,397.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between May 2025 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the County Durham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 95 MERLIN DRIVE of £318,000 on 23rd May 2025. For the value to have increased from £318,000 to £324,397 over the nine months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 95 MERLIN DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the County Durham local authority area.
