4 CHESCOMBE 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 four 4 CHESCOMBE CLOSE sales between March 2003 and May 2023 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 December 2021 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 4 CHESCOMBE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.2%, between May 2023 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 1.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 CHESCOMBE CLOSE of £280,000 on 31st May 2023. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £283,400 over the two years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 CHESCOMBE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2023 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
