HILLTOP COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLTOP COTTAGE sales from September 1999 and September 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 September 1999 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might HILLTOP COTTAGE be worth now?

HILLTOP COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £413,313.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.2%, between September 2017 and February 2025, for semi-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 27.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLTOP COTTAGE of £325,000 on 22nd September 2017. For the value to have increased from £325,000 to £413,313 over the eight years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLTOP COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £325,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLTOP COTTAGE has not materially changed since September 2017.
