BOWDON 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 BOWDON sales between March 2004 and September 2013 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 April 2012 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might BOWDON be worth now?

BOWDON might now be worth an estimated £530,113.

This is based on house price inflation of 54.8%, between September 2013 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 54.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWDON of £342,500 on 24th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £342,500 to £530,113 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWDON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £342,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWDON has not materially changed since September 2013.
