12 TEMPLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 TEMPLE CLOSE sales from September 1997 and June 2002 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 1997 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.

What might 12 TEMPLE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 165.7%, between June 2002 and February 2025, for semi-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 165.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 TEMPLE CLOSE of £181,000 on 28th June 2002. For the value to have increased from £181,000 to £480,962 over the 23 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
