5 THE SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 THE SQUARE sales between April 2002 and December 2018 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 2004 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE SQUARE be worth now?

5 THE SQUARE might now be worth an estimated £266,225.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.8%, between December 2018 and February 2025, for semi-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 26.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE SQUARE of £210,000 on 20th December 2018. For the value to have increased from £210,000 to £266,225 over the seven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 THE SQUARE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2018 sale price of £210,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 THE SQUARE has not materially changed since December 2018.
