MELBURY 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 six MELBURY sales between September 1995 and June 2023 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 March 2014 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 86% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% above the HPI.

What might MELBURY be worth now?

MELBURY might now be worth an estimated £985,683.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.1%, between June 2023 and March 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 0.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MELBURY of £985,000 on 28th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £985,000 to £985,683 over the two years and three months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MELBURY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £985,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MELBURY has not materially changed since June 2023.
