18 COUNTER CLOSE 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 18 COUNTER CLOSE sales from October 1996 and February 2020 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 October 1996 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 18 COUNTER CLOSE be worth now?

18 COUNTER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £386,567.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between February 2020 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 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 COUNTER CLOSE of £320,000 on 17th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £320,000 to £386,567 over the four years and eleven months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 18 COUNTER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £320,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 18 COUNTER CLOSE has not materially changed since February 2020.
