MALABAR 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 MALABAR HOUSE sales between July 2006 and September 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 April 2010 sale was for 518% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 518% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 468% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 468% above the HPI.

What might MALABAR HOUSE be worth now?

MALABAR HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £2,959,804.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.8%, between September 2019 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 20.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MALABAR HOUSE of £2,450,000 on 20th September 2019. For the value to have increased from £2,450,000 to £2,959,804 over the four years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MALABAR HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2019 sale price of £2,450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MALABAR HOUSE has not materially changed since September 2019.
