17 ROTHESAY ROAD 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 17 ROTHESAY ROAD sales from July 1996 and March 2017 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 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 17 ROTHESAY ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.2%, between March 2017 and December 2024, 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 25.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 ROTHESAY ROAD of £415,000 on 6th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £519,725 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 ROTHESAY ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
