27 NEW 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 27 NEW CLOSE sales from January 2009 and August 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 January 2009 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 27 NEW CLOSE be worth now?

27 NEW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £448,309.

This is based on house price inflation of 57.3%, between August 2012 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 57.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 NEW CLOSE of £285,000 on 9th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £448,309 over the eleven years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
