3 FIELD 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 3 FIELD CLOSE sales between December 2001 and July 2017 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 2004 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 3 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

3 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £240,816.

This is based on house price inflation of 30.2%, between July 2017 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 30.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 FIELD CLOSE of £184,950 on 26th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £184,950 to £240,816 over the eight years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2017 sale price of £184,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 FIELD CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2017.
