6 ROMULUS CLOSE 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 6 ROMULUS CLOSE sales between December 2001 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 December 2017 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 6 ROMULUS CLOSE be worth now?

6 ROMULUS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £464,298.

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 6 ROMULUS CLOSE of £385,000 on 11th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £464,298 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
