The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 157 PRESTON ROAD sales from November 2003 and August 2016 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 November 2003 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
157 PRESTON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £556,593.
This is based on house price inflation of 31.4%, between August 2016 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 31.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 157 PRESTON ROAD of £423,500 on 5th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £423,500 to £556,593 over the nine years and five months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
