The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 RAILWAY DRIVE sales between April 1996 and April 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 June 1996 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
5 RAILWAY DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £579,050.
This is based on house price inflation of 1.6%, between April 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 1.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 RAILWAY DRIVE of £570,000 on 26th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £570,000 to £579,050 over the four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
