BYWAYS 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 BYWAYS sales from July 1996 and August 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 July 1996 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might BYWAYS be worth now?

BYWAYS might now be worth an estimated £508,780.

This is based on house price inflation of 39.4%, between August 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 39.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BYWAYS of £365,000 on 3rd August 2015. For the value to have increased from £365,000 to £508,780 over the ten years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BYWAYS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2015 sale price of £365,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BYWAYS has not materially changed since August 2015.
