2 SYLVAN 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 2 SYLVAN CLOSE sales from April 2004 and January 2011 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 April 2004 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 2 SYLVAN CLOSE be worth now?

2 SYLVAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £296,513.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.3%, between January 2011 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 60.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SYLVAN CLOSE of £185,000 on 11th January 2011. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £296,513 over the twelve years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SYLVAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The January 2011 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 SYLVAN CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2011.
