HIGHCLERE 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 four HIGHCLERE COTTAGE sales between September 2002 and November 2024 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 January 2022 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might HIGHCLERE COTTAGE be worth now?

HIGHCLERE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £281,901.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.7%, between November 2024 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 0.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HIGHCLERE COTTAGE of £280,000 on 25th November 2024. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £281,901 over the one year and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HIGHCLERE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The November 2024 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HIGHCLERE COTTAGE has not materially changed since November 2024.
