MOORCROFT 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 MOORCROFT sales between January 2004 and September 2009 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 2004 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.

What might MOORCROFT be worth now?

MOORCROFT might now be worth an estimated £782,946.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.2%, between September 2009 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 70.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MOORCROFT of £460,000 on 17th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £782,946 over the fourteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MOORCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The September 2009 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MOORCROFT has not materially changed since September 2009.
