50 SCHOOL LANE 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 50 SCHOOL LANE sales from September 1995 and July 1997 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 1995 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the July 1997 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 50 SCHOOL LANE be worth now?

50 SCHOOL LANE might now be worth an estimated £342,022.

This is based on house price inflation of 371.8%, between July 1997 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 371.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 50 SCHOOL LANE of £72,500 on 9th July 1997. For the value to have increased from £72,500 to £342,022 over the 26 years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 50 SCHOOL LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 1997 sale price of £72,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 50 SCHOOL LANE has not materially changed since July 1997.
