1 THE DROVE 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 THE DROVE sales from July 2002 and January 2015 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 July 2002 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 1 THE DROVE be worth now?

1 THE DROVE might now be worth an estimated £388,651.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.9%, between January 2015 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 43.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE DROVE of £270,000 on 23rd January 2015. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £388,651 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE DROVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £270,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE DROVE has not materially changed since January 2015.
