DOVECOTES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOVECOTES sales from May 2002 and May 2017 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 2002 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might DOVECOTES be worth now?

DOVECOTES might now be worth an estimated £501,735.

This is based on house price inflation of 35.6%, between May 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOVECOTES of £370,000 on 26th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £501,735 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOVECOTES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Kesteven local authority area.
• The May 2017 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOVECOTES has not materially changed since May 2017.
