The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 78 DORCHESTER ROAD sales between April 1998 and February 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 July 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
78 DORCHESTER ROAD might now be worth an estimated £310,056.
This is based on house price inflation of 26.8%, between February 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 78 DORCHESTER ROAD of £244,500 on 8th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £244,500 to £310,056 over the seven years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
