5 SWALLOWFIELDS 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 three 5 SWALLOWFIELDS sales between August 1997 and June 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 October 2017 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 5 SWALLOWFIELDS be worth now?

5 SWALLOWFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £487,462.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.5%, between June 2023 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 1.5% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SWALLOWFIELDS of £495,000 on 6th June 2023. For the value to have decreased from £495,000 to £487,462 over the six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SWALLOWFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 SWALLOWFIELDS has not materially changed since June 2023.
