8 MOUNTERS 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 four 8 MOUNTERS CLOSE sales between July 1995 and July 2016 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 March 2002 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 8 MOUNTERS CLOSE be worth now?

8 MOUNTERS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £324,723.

This is based on house price inflation of 32.5%, between July 2016 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 32.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 MOUNTERS CLOSE of £245,000 on 1st July 2016. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £324,723 over the nine years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 MOUNTERS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2016 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 MOUNTERS CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2016.
