40 PROSPECT CRESCENT 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 40 PROSPECT CRESCENT sales from November 1999 and May 2024 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 November 1999 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 40 PROSPECT CRESCENT be worth now?

40 PROSPECT CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £581,229.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between May 2024 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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 40 PROSPECT CRESCENT of £575,000 on 23rd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £581,229 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
