2 DOWN END 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 2 DOWN END sales from January 1998 and March 2007 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 January 1998 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 2 DOWN END be worth now?

2 DOWN END might now be worth an estimated £351,855.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.9%, between March 2007 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 59.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 DOWN END of £220,000 on 26th March 2007. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £351,855 over the sixteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 DOWN END has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The March 2007 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 DOWN END has not materially changed since March 2007.
