5 THE LIMES 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 THE LIMES sales between May 1997 and October 2019 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 September 2003 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE LIMES be worth now?

5 THE LIMES might now be worth an estimated £431,134.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.6%, between October 2019 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 20.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE LIMES of £357,500 on 2nd October 2019. For the value to have increased from £357,500 to £431,134 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE LIMES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £357,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE LIMES has not materially changed since October 2019.
