MERLINS CREST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERLINS CREST sales from May 1998 and May 2000 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 May 1998 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the May 2000 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might MERLINS CREST be worth now?

MERLINS CREST might now be worth an estimated £735,491.

This is based on house price inflation of 194.2%, between May 2000 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 194.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERLINS CREST of £250,000 on 8th May 2000. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £735,491 over the 24 years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERLINS CREST has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The May 2000 sale price of £250,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERLINS CREST has not materially changed since May 2000.
