The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 THOMAS HARDY CLOSE sales from August 1998 and July 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 August 1998 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
17 THOMAS HARDY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £384,299.
This is based on house price inflation of 32.5%, between July 2016 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).
