BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE 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 BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE sales from March 2000 and December 2015 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 2000 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE be worth now?

BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £433,430.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.4%, between December 2015 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 33.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE of £325,000 on 7th December 2015. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £433,430 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2015 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BIRDSWOOD COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2015.
