1 ORCHARD 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 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between December 2005 and April 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 September 2013 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 1 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

1 ORCHARD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £494,270.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.2%, between April 2024 and February 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 3.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ORCHARD CLOSE of £479,000 on 23rd April 2024. For the value to have increased from £479,000 to £494,270 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ORCHARD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £479,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ORCHARD CLOSE has not materially changed since April 2024.
