OAK 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 OAK COTTAGE sales from October 2007 and April 2017 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 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

What might OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £895,519.

This is based on house price inflation of 26.5%, between April 2017 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 26.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OAK COTTAGE of £708,000 on 10th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £708,000 to £895,519 over the eight years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £708,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OAK COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2017.
