3 MARKSTONE COTTAGES 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 two 3 MARKSTONE COTTAGES sales from June 1997 and January 1999 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 June 1997 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the January 1999 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.

What might 3 MARKSTONE COTTAGES be worth now?

3 MARKSTONE COTTAGES might now be worth an estimated £510,115.

This is based on house price inflation of 339.8%, between January 1999 and December 2024, 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 339.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 MARKSTONE COTTAGES of £116,000 on 29th January 1999. For the value to have increased from £116,000 to £510,115 over the 24 years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The January 1999 sale price of £116,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
