LATCHMORE HOUSE 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 three LATCHMORE HOUSE sales between August 1997 and January 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 December 2021 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might LATCHMORE HOUSE be worth now?

LATCHMORE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £704,555.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.3%, between January 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% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LATCHMORE HOUSE of £702,500 on 12th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £702,500 to £704,555 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LATCHMORE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £702,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LATCHMORE HOUSE has not materially changed since January 2024.
