8 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD sales between August 1995 and August 2009 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 June 2007 sale was for 84% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 84% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.

What might 8 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 74.1%, between August 2009 and December 2024, 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 74.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD of £348,000 on 6th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £348,000 to £605,815 over the fourteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
