MERRY FIELDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRY FIELDS sales from March 1998 and August 2010 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 1998 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might MERRY FIELDS be worth now?

MERRY FIELDS might now be worth an estimated £651,114.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.8%, between August 2010 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MERRY FIELDS of £399,950 on 10th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £399,950 to £651,114 over the fifteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MERRY FIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The August 2010 sale price of £399,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MERRY FIELDS has not materially changed since August 2010.
