MARTHAS 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 MARTHAS COTTAGE sales from October 2002 and December 2008 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 2002 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might MARTHAS COTTAGE be worth now?

MARTHAS COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £697,336.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.3%, between December 2008 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 74.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARTHAS COTTAGE of £400,000 on 23rd December 2008. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £697,336 over the seventeen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARTHAS COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The December 2008 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARTHAS COTTAGE has not materially changed since December 2008.
