HIGH CLOSE 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 HIGH CLOSE sales from December 1996 and August 2007 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 December 1996 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.

What might HIGH CLOSE be worth now?

HIGH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £870,029.

This is based on house price inflation of 54%, between August 2007 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 54% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGH CLOSE of £565,000 on 17th August 2007. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £870,029 over the eighteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The August 2007 sale price of £565,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGH CLOSE has not materially changed since August 2007.
