MELBURY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MELBURY sales between November 1996 and October 2016 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 September 2007 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might MELBURY be worth now?

MELBURY might now be worth an estimated £707,304.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.2%, between October 2016 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 32.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBURY of £535,000 on 26th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £535,000 to £707,304 over the nine years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELBURY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area.
• The October 2016 sale price of £535,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELBURY has not materially changed since October 2016.
