LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE sales between July 1997 and February 2022 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 July 2005 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE be worth now?

LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £247,283.

This is based on house price inflation of 3.7%, between February 2022 and July 2025, for terraced 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 3.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE of £238,500 on 25th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £238,500 to £247,283 over the two years and seven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for terraced houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £238,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLEDOWN COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2022.
