CASTLETON STEPS 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 CASTLETON STEPS sales from September 2005 and July 2009 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 September 2005 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.

What might CASTLETON STEPS be worth now?

CASTLETON STEPS might now be worth an estimated £999,831.

This is based on house price inflation of 77%, between July 2009 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 77% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CASTLETON STEPS of £565,000 on 10th July 2009. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £999,831 over the sixteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CASTLETON STEPS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The July 2009 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CASTLETON STEPS has not materially changed since July 2009.
