1 MINERVA 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 two 1 MINERVA CLOSE sales from May 2009 and December 2024 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 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 1 MINERVA CLOSE be worth now?

1 MINERVA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £446,508.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.9%, between December 2024 and March 2025, 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 0.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MINERVA CLOSE of £442,500 on 16th December 2024. For the value to have increased from £442,500 to £446,508 over the one year and nine months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
