3 OSBORNE 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 three 3 OSBORNE CLOSE sales between June 2000 and August 2010 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 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 3 OSBORNE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 54.5%, between August 2010 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 54.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 OSBORNE CLOSE of £240,000 on 20th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £370,793 over the thirteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
