8 OLD FARM 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 three 8 OLD FARM sales between June 1996 and December 2008 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 January 2001 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 8 OLD FARM be worth now?

8 OLD FARM might now be worth an estimated £544,794.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.3%, between December 2008 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 74.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 OLD FARM of £312,500 on 18th December 2008. For the value to have increased from £312,500 to £544,794 over the seventeen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 OLD FARM has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
