BEECH LODGE 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 five BEECH LODGE sales between June 1996 and September 2019 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 May 2017 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might BEECH LODGE be worth now?

BEECH LODGE might now be worth an estimated £598,001.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between September 2019 and December 2024, 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 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECH LODGE of £495,000 on 4th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £598,001 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEECH LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECH LODGE has not materially changed since September 2019.
