4 ICEN MEWS 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 four 4 ICEN MEWS sales between July 2009 and August 2018 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 August 2014 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 4 ICEN MEWS be worth now?

4 ICEN MEWS might now be worth an estimated £339,774.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.2%, between August 2018 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 17.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 ICEN MEWS of £290,000 on 13th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £339,774 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 ICEN MEWS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 4 ICEN MEWS has not materially changed since August 2018.
