BOWERGATE 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 BOWERGATE sales from October 2001 and November 2011 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 October 2001 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might BOWERGATE be worth now?

BOWERGATE might now be worth an estimated £577,598.

This is based on house price inflation of 60.4%, between November 2011 and March 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 60.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWERGATE of £360,000 on 25th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £577,598 over the fourteen years and eight months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWERGATE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWERGATE has not materially changed since November 2011.
