The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 71 MELLSTOCK AVENUE sales between July 1998 and May 2013 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 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
71 MELLSTOCK AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £541,934.
This is based on house price inflation of 58.2%, between May 2013 and February 2025, 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).
