FORD COTTAGE 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 three FORD COTTAGE sales between March 1999 and August 2022 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 2004 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.

What might FORD COTTAGE be worth now?

FORD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £730,064.

This is based on house price deflation of 2.7%, between August 2022 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 2.7% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for FORD COTTAGE of £750,000 on 26th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £750,000 to £730,064 over the three years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FORD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £750,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FORD COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2022.
