4 JAMES ROAD 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 two 4 JAMES ROAD sales from January 1997 and February 2008 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 January 1997 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 4 JAMES ROAD be worth now?

4 JAMES ROAD might now be worth an estimated £409,791.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.8%, between February 2008 and February 2025, 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 51.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 JAMES ROAD of £270,000 on 22nd February 2008. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £409,791 over the seventeen years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 JAMES ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
