BOWERS 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 BOWERS sales from May 2019 and November 2020 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 2019 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might BOWERS be worth now?

BOWERS might now be worth an estimated £358,549.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.7%, between November 2020 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 14.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BOWERS of £312,500 on 2nd November 2020. For the value to have increased from £312,500 to £358,549 over the five years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BOWERS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The November 2020 sale price of £312,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BOWERS has not materially changed since November 2020.
