2 SELWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 SELWOOD CLOSE sales between April 1995 and January 2012 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 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 2 SELWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

2 SELWOOD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £255,410.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.8%, between January 2012 and February 2025, for semi-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 64.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SELWOOD CLOSE of £155,000 on 16th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £155,000 to £255,410 over the twelve years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SELWOOD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The January 2012 sale price of £155,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 SELWOOD CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2012.
