1 BARNES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 BARNES CLOSE sales between April 2003 and April 2020 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 December 2016 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 1 BARNES CLOSE be worth now?

1 BARNES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £358,705.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.6%, between April 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 17.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BARNES CLOSE of £305,000 on 3rd April 2020. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £358,705 over the three years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BARNES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2020 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 BARNES CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2020.
