LYME 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 LYME COTTAGE sales from October 2007 and October 2019 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 October 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might LYME COTTAGE be worth now?

LYME COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £645,210.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.3%, between October 2019 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 22.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LYME COTTAGE of £527,500 on 23rd October 2019. For the value to have increased from £527,500 to £645,210 over the six years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LYME COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The October 2019 sale price of £527,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LYME COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2019.
