KNAPP CORNER 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 KNAPP CORNER COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and October 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 September 2021 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might KNAPP CORNER COTTAGE be worth now?

KNAPP CORNER COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £299,980.

This is based on house price deflation of 0.3%, between October 2024 and December 2024, 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 0.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for KNAPP CORNER COTTAGE of £301,000 on 11th October 2024. For the value to have decreased from £301,000 to £299,980 over the ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of KNAPP CORNER COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2024 sale price of £301,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
