8 GARDEN 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 two 8 GARDEN CLOSE sales from December 2010 and January 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 December 2010 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 8 GARDEN CLOSE be worth now?

8 GARDEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £437,309.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.5%, between January 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).

The 60.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 GARDEN CLOSE of £272,500 on 3rd January 2013. For the value to have increased from £272,500 to £437,309 over the eleven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 GARDEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The January 2013 sale price of £272,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 GARDEN CLOSE has not materially changed since January 2013.
