HILLSIDE 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 two HILLSIDE COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and February 2016 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 1997 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might HILLSIDE COTTAGE be worth now?

HILLSIDE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £335,821.

This is based on house price inflation of 33.8%, between February 2016 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 33.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLSIDE COTTAGE of £251,000 on 26th February 2016. For the value to have increased from £251,000 to £335,821 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLSIDE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £251,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLSIDE COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2016.
