251 HIGH STREET 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 251 HIGH STREET sales from January 1995 and June 2021 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 1995 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, which was also at 53% below the HPI.

What might 251 HIGH STREET be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 12.1%, between June 2021 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 12.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 251 HIGH STREET of £220,000 on 18th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £220,000 to £246,694 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 251 HIGH STREET has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £220,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 251 HIGH STREET has not materially changed since June 2021.
